Re: Acoustic Guitars
Not sure what price range you're in, but I'd certainly recommend you check

Re: Versatility of archtop guitar?
The Epi Sheraton II is a terrific guitar, & should fill the bill for you.

Re: Jazz Guitar and the Internet -- A Good Thing
I've discussed this with several musician friends. It is, apparently,
quite common for people to be scattered in their practice habits.
