new guitar recomendations

[AnUprightMan]

I think my parents are willing to buy me a new guitar for christmas. I got a washburn wd200s last year for my first guitar and I have improved enough that they felt it was a good investment. I think they would be willing to spend upwards of 800 bucks on me this christmas. So I am looking for recomendations. I would like an acoustic electric and an amp i would also like it to be cut out for access to the higher frets and I am not opposed to a guitar with on of those rounded backs like my buddy's ovation.
any recomendations?

also any thoughts or anything else I should know about an acoustic electric in terms of anything else might need to be set up with gearwise?

HI

What you can always do is go to the companies web sites and see the products they have out and the spects. I know Gibson had a good web site that has alot of information about there products. But as you already know do your homework before you put down $800 cause you could be getting a crapy git for that price. (Not always but I dose happen the odd time)

I am looking, too. Try http://www.alvarezgtr.com/ and look at their Artist Series. They have some reasonably priced and well reviewed A/E's, like the AJ60SC. I have a thing for that PD-100 in the Professional Series, but I don't know if I would knock a hole in something like that to mount the EQ panel. The trouble with some A/E's, like the Ovulations, is that they don't sound good at all unless they are plugged in.
