Whilst I was up North visiting my brother, he took me guitar shopping, because he knew the manager of a local store. When we got there they were closing, but I had enough time to browse around and spotted a £400 blonde Epiphone I thought was ideal for me - within budget, sounded nice - pretty much what I wanted. It was too late to buy it so we decided to go back the next day and get the guitar. Returning the next day, around lunch time, we happened to bump into my brother's friend as he was leaving for lunch. His parting words were "We've got a Fender there on offer - you should try it."
Now, I'd already set my heart on this Epiphone so went straight to it; picked it up, confirmed it was what I was looking for. On a whim I asked about the the Fender the manager had mentioned and picked it up genuinely not expecting much. I played a Dsus2 and instantly fell in love with the guitar. I asked about cases for it, got a few set of strings thrown in and walked away with bargain, paying a third less than I came in to spend, walking away with a guitar that still has pride of place my "collection".
If it breaks the bank, or you're not 100% sure how far you want to go with acoustics, it's probably not worth the money. If, on the other hand, an instrument "sings" to you and you can afford it, buy it - just make sure you play it to get your money's worth.
That's just my opinion though...
Don't worry too much about me, ignore me long enough and I'll go away.
