Hi joshS, I am learning on a semi-acoustic (Epiphone PR5E). As a woman, my hands are a little smaller than many men's, this one has a slightly narrower neck than many acoustics, but it has an awsome sound when plugged in. However, I have been learning for a little over a year, and it has taken me until the last couple of months to be able to clamp a barre chord on it, moving between them. I am assuming I'm a little slow on this?!, Or it's symptomatic of my guitar strings / action and size for my hands. I have ordered myself an SG for my birthday, and am keen to find out the difference in playability.

good luck with whatever you choose / have already chosen.
