Yer not the Ocean - Tragically Hip

I think its really a personal preference thing. I was thinking the exact same thing about wanting a martin, went to the shop played a taylor and fell in love with the tone.  But either way, both good solid guitars.

don't be afraid to ask

My advice, and although I am not a parent I have some!
Do not care too much about most things.
Such as school. Doing well in school, contrary to popular belief, is NOT the most important thing in the world.
Partying is a GOOD thing.
Curfews are BAD.
Enforcing endless controlling rules on your kids with no real purpose is BAD.
Taking extremely important things like GUITARS as punishment is VERY BAD.

Anyway these are just my, current, firsthand experiences, I'm sure they'll change one day, but right now they seem like solid principles to live by;)

I completely agree with most of the middle ground opinions here, thats perfect. Altho sometimes at shows at schools I like to say things like "Everythings f**ked up as usual" just to push buttons and provoke a bit of reaction, which it often does.

Then i go to work after school and its completely appropriate termniology for everything to be f**king this and f**cking that.

so who knows?

So, after ordering they told me two weeks, then after two weeks they said three more. Anyway, my parents were in Pittsburgh this weekend, asked them to check out some shops, and but they didnt have the 210e in stock, but they had the 314ce which lists on the site for about 2300, they ended up getting it for 1400! so I'm just waiting for them to get home!

for me personally Ive never practiced a scale in my life, never done a drill, or done fret board memorization. Hell ive never done a hand warm up.  because for me that would ruin guitar, I just love playin by sound and messin around figure stuff out and the like.. but as you can see, dguyton loves that stuff, so i guess its whatever makes you happy?

so i would say, budget your time for, first and foremost, whatevers the most fun for you

1. Yes, you will be able to feel them, but the tips will lose some finer sensitivity (nothing to worry about unless you read braille with your fretting hand)

2. Yep.. well based on experience anyway, doesn't bother me.

3. I don't.. eventually after the initial buildup I find that the actually size and bulk of the calluses go to down and their more smooth and sleek, but still hard at the same time.

4.  I wouldn't recommended any of those, and yeah keep your fingers dry.

5.  Haha they may be annoying at first, but like I said, theyll tame down.  If your like me, its the tips that are callused, not the pads themselves.  So just use the pads of your fingers for any touching you need to do..

well i consider myself a decent intermediate guitar player.. more of a rhythm guitarist as Im usually singing when playing but ican play major minor 7 diminshed chords stuff like that no prob, but a basic B chord kills me.. in pretty much every song i just use a B power chord..
