Good smart move jsquiers .They will proberly do best they can but being an acoustic they are fairly hard to play up the neck(unless upper grade) and generally need a higher action as the strings are thicker wound and when they vibrate need a bigger oval to move.Try a few different guitars at the shop also to find one that you feel has the feel you are looking for so you have a idea of what a good setup feels like.I know how it feels when you want to rip up the neck with a riff and only thing that rips is your fingers.good luck.
