THANK YOU "Jazzman". It helps!

I need help in deciding to purchase my first acoustic guitar... Can anyone recommend 2-4 acoustic guitars that meets the following criteria: * an acoustic guitar that has a "blues/rock" sound. * a guitar with minimal bracing. * an arch top guitar. These guitars have minimal bracing as the strings are tied to the sidewall not the top plate. * Slide guitars typically have a higher action and are not as finger friendly for melody work, etc. * The slide should match the guitar. The best match might be glass, ceramic, brass, or steel. * Stay away from single cutaway shapes. Full shoulder guitars give a fuller sound. That's it. I look forward to your recommendations/suggestions.
