I absolutely LOVE my Ibanez acoustic (PF5NT). It's a beautiful guitar and sounds wonderful. Of course, it's my first guitar so I really don't have anything to compare it to. I'm in the same position as you, jcarl24. I've only been playing for a little while. Less then 6 months. I got my Ibanez at a local music store for a very nice price ($175) and I love it. I don't think I could be any happier with an acoustic guitar. Hopefully this has helped you in some way.
