I was walking when I saw a Yamaha store, and I saw a nice guitar on the shop window, so I decided to enter and give it a try. It's a Yamaha Pacifica 212VQM, and it felt really good, it isn't a high end guitar, it doesn't cost more than us$500 , but it felt right, nice sustain, nice bridge pick up and very soft to play. I didn't buy it but I'm thinking, sometimes things doesn't have to be fancy , just are what you need.
here is a video of alex hutching playing it, the one I saw it's exactly as this one.

I will add something else to this.... when I was in the Marines, I knew a guy who re-enlisted and received a sizable bonus (around $16 thousand dollars) for doing so. Well, this guy decided he was going to learn guitar. He immediately went out and bought around $6000 worth of things he had no idea how to use, including the guitar..... That's just dumb (in my opinion). I have played some pretty expensive guitars my friends have owned and they did not make me sound one bit better... Even if I had had more money when I bought my latest one, I still would have probably kept it inexpensive as my level of playing just doesn't warrant it yet.
