Play a bit..... Been in a band for 15 years or so not a great guitarist but can strum a tune. We played some good gigs few years back, guilfest ( played at the same time as the stranglers were on the main stage), the carling academy in bristol, the anson rooms etc I loved it we still play a bit but can't dedicate the time like we used to..... I would recommend you to pick a half decent acoustic there will be some decent second hand deals, go to your local music shop ask advice from them, if you can play a little strum a few in the shop see what you like and then shop around..... Don't go cheap
