actually if you can get up to £200 for the guitar, the pacifica 412 is £199 on gak... might be worth considering. the 112 was nice for the price when i tried it, but you'd have known it was a starter... not so much with the 412 i'd have thought. guess the 412 is worth a try if at all possible... just in case it's loads better for not too much more (i haven't tried the 412, but the 812 is in a whole other league to the 112)...
