I'm supposed to get an acoustic guitar for my 70th birthday next month. I've been learning on an electric for the past 2 1/2 years. I've decided on a Taylor 114e.
Yesterday I stopped into my local shop to pick up a pack of strings. The have a 114ce (a 114e with a cutaway) hanging on the wall, so I decided to play around with it a little. Jeez, the higher action and heavier strings turned me from a mediocre player to an inept one. My guy at the shop told me he can lower the action for me, and maybe switch strings from 12s to 11s, but I'm still nervous as to whether I'm biting off more than I can chew with an acoustic.
