Thanks for the reply guys. :)

I already have a very nice Prestige Ibanez for the electric side of things, so a fuller bodied sound would be preferable. Style wise, well, I'm wishing to do some solo, chord-strumming-type covers and also wanting to put lots of time into some finger-style stuff.

I guess I'd have to try the differences between the different neck shape variables. I think I'm only familiar with the 'C' shape. To be honest, I was unaware of the differences. I've played guitar for a while, but know not much about the actual instrument design.

Some of the Dean A/E guitars look lovely.
