This is good advice, though you might want to wait until you already have your upgrade guitar. Just in case!

Also, I noticed you post elsewhere about maybe putting down the guitar until you could upgrade. All I can say is, don't get all hung up on how much your guitar cost. Chances are very high it needs some set up, but, unless your neck is absolutely warped, crooked or twisted (in which case you can return it) every guitar is capable of being decently set up. Guaranteed.

Next thing you know, you'll be a gear snob!! :D

Here's an example. I recently picked up a "Grayson" brand acoustic guitar for $150 new (this one normally runs $350+). Grayson is just another Quality-Impaired Private Label guitar mass produced in China somewhere. With rosewood back & sides, spruce top, mahogany neck and piezo pup under the bridge, though, it had the fundamentals of a decent guitar.

But it played like crap. At first! However, a little fretwork and set up and now it plays great. I suspect you'll be surprised what can be done with your Robson.
