    First "real" guitar? Steer him toward a Takamine. They have single cutaways in black. NOT THE JASMINE CRAPPOLA, the plain 'ol Tak's. Have him play one at a nearby dealer first, but for half a grand he'll be happy for a few years.

    Yep. Takamine is a good suggestion.

    There are ALOT of VERY nice acoustic-electrics avail for < $1000. Must be black...that's gonna limit the choice considerably.

    Try out the video gear page at www.acousticguitar.com. Many a fine sub-$1000 a-e's demoed and reviewed there. At least your friend will be armed w more info re what's available.

    I don't know that it has to be black; that's just his preference. I'll check out the link -- thanks.
