Ok, i've come into some cash :monkey , and i am going to buy SOMETHING :bounce , just don't know what. here are my options, maybe someone can push me into a direction, because right now i absolutely cannot decide. I currently have a martin dcme (ok geetar, but nothing fancy) that i play through a yamaha ag stomp amp mod and a crate ca30. i'm thinking of the following options :BANG :

A) trade the dcme in for a d35 (or hd28?) If i kept the ag stomp and the amp (which i probably would) i'd have to pay to get a fishman installed OR buy a soundhole pickup (i think dean markley makes the most reputable). any thoughts on the pickup issue?

B) keep the current gear, buy a Fender american series strat.

If i go with this option, i'd need to buy a practice amp, then i'd either buy a PX4 or a line 6 pod. Anyone have any thoughts on the px4 vs. line 6 pod?


what should i do? :BANG

I'd go for the D35. Do you play live and is that why you need an acoustic pickup?

spend the extra dough and get a martin with a Fishman pickup system already installed... then get a L.R. Baggs DI preamp for fine tuning...

buy some tylonol for all the times you are banging your head against the wall (which i really have no idea why you are doing that to begin with)
