I started learning guitar a couple months ago, mostly using Yousician App, but have now started Guitar Tricks. I play with the Epiphone DR-100 acoustic guitar.

I need to buy a second guitar because I travel frequently between two places, and it is difficult to take my guitar with me. My plan was to just buy another DR-100 ($120) and keep it at my second home, so as to ensure consistency in practice.

However, I'd like to know if there would be any disadvantage or advantage to learning the basics with a guitar different from my DR-100, whatever that might be. Will I pick up bad habits if I practice with the DR-100 for 3 days a week in one location but with a (for example) Fender FA-100 the other 4 days a week?

I can afford a better guitar (say a Yamaha around $300-$500), but I don't think I'm at the point that I would really know the difference between such a guitar and my DR-100. Thank you.
