I know there are lots of old threads, but I didn't want to bump them, as I'm wondering more about specifics.

I have around a $1000 budget, give or take a few hundred bucks. I've been playing for around a year, and am looking to purchase a guitar that can help me take the next step. The one I have now is a nice beginner guitar, but I get frustrated with the crappy quality at times.

Is it worth going into a national retailer like Long and McQuade? I live in the Winnipeg area.

Any suggestions about brand? Obviously there are the popular brands like Taylor, Gibson, Martin, Seagull.....and I'm kinda leaning towards Taylor based on playing them a few times.

Any help would be appreciated.
