Got myself an Epiphone pro 1 to learn to actually play a guitar early last year and is the one i take to the lessons... even though bought brand new the action was horrendously high so had it set up properly, even the tutor thinks its a good guitar now.

Then tonight we have bought an unseen Takamine 335 off Ebay..... we shall see when that arrives.... apparently originally bought in NZ circa 1995....
