Hey everyone!
Stumbled across the site whilst looking for guitar forums/blogs/help/tips/guidance etc! Ive been playing now for around 6 weeks, on a guitar ive borrowed from my cousin. Its a very cheap Ebay Hudson, which sounds poor, i struggle to play with any consistency and it kills my fingers. However.......i love playing! Despite using the poor guitar it honestly love trying seeing what i can do. At the moment i am learning to play Wonderwall and Good Riddance (Time of Your Life). I thought by focusing on just two songs it saves my poor brain and fingers to much work early on.
I do have a small question though, which i am sure has been answered many, many times before  so i am so sorry for asking again. I am looking to purchase my own guitar. Something a little better, set up nicely but i am not sure if i should go for an acoustic or an electric. I did like the look of the Cort Earth Grand, read a lot of good things about it, love the thought of the extra service given by Richard. However, i then saw this which i have instantly fell in love with! A little bit beyond my £200 budget, but for the right guitar i am willing to save a little more and push the budget. Appreciate it is second hand, but i am sure it wouldnt be being sold if it was a duff one!
Any advice would be fantastic! And whilst i ask this question now, i know that i will end up with one of each in the not so distant future!

Advice? Reserve that gorgeous Epiphone Les Paul before someone else does! You cannot beat having an instrument that inspires you.
You might want to visit and play it and a few others, just to make sure.
I can vouch for the quality of Richard's work and attention to detail.

The Les Paul had gone, however, that hasnt stopped me purchasing a guitar!  so i am a very happy chappy! Ive ordered a Wine Red Cort Z42 and i cant wait for it to come in the new year! Ill finally be able to hand over this terrible Hudson! 
I now just need to pick up bits and bats such as stand, tuner, very small amp, leads etc, so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
