I'm throwing this out to all the people that play guitar here. I am looking to buy a new electric/acoustic for live shows. I have a few in mind but have yet to try them all. If any of you HAVE played any of these, please let me know what you think of them. Any and all help is appreciated!

This is the goal. It's a bit more expensive than I really want to pay but that doesn't mean much:

It's Steve Vai's signature series acoustic. Looks pretty, sounds prettier. However, I am only really looking to spend a grand to 1500 on the guitar. So this one goes on the back shelf until maybe AFTER the house.

Next up, and front runner is the Ovation Elite. Good for live shows, decent pickup and the price is right.

It looks sexy on stage with all the lights...versatile as far as live acoustics go.

Next is a Washburn E-10. Price is right, again, looks nice but a couple less features than the Ovation. Probably more prone to feedback than the Ovation as well.

Last on the list is another Washburn. Not quite the look I am going for but it fits in the price range. I believe it's the D34SCE model.

I have played the Ovation and the Washburn E-10. If any of you have any thoughts on the others please let me know.
