It may be worth having a chat with Richard on his live chat.

It pops up as soon as you go into his website and start browsing

I am glad that you are going into a guitar shop. Always the best move to get a guitar that you have sat down and played. Plus with a good guitar shop you will get a well set up instrument. Whilst in there you can look at other makes too, remember, price does not necessarily mean a good instrument.

Let us know how you get on

Hi,
I managed to pick up a 2000(or so) martin 0015 with a gloss finish(unusual for that range) for £550 with hard case etc. Now i have played a lot of different Guitars and i agree that the standard of the HPL based martins (x series?) is pretty ordinary, but this thing is great. So there are secondhand bargains to be had. Stonebridges, from the ones that I have played are exceptional too, I never get on too well with Taylors, they feel like an electric guitar players acoustic, if that makes sense.
Faith acoustics are good value too, so well worth a look. But you may find a secondhand martin like i did that just suits you down to the ground. You might also look at the L02 l'arrive's and the entry level Lakewoods, they also seem to be well received.
