Advice on buying an acoustic electric guitar!?
My limit is $700, what do you guys suggest?? I really like the sound of my friend's Martin Custom x-series... it's smaller and looks great with it's natural look, but it's more than my price range.
I saw this on guitarcenter.com ... anyone have this?

I'm mainly using my guitar to hook into the amp when I play on my church's praise team. I'm looking for a guitar with a sort of brilliant sound... with a more natural look. Let me know if you guys have any advice!
Personally, I have to say look into a Taylor. I own a 614ce and it is one of the best guitars I have ever played. At $2900 it's a little steep for you but the less expensive ones are great too.
