Scott:

Musician's friends carter, is a entry level, and a waste of good money.Better off buying a used one. Country music, you can get by with 3/or/4 pedals and 10 strings,with a nashville tuning.If you like other music,(plus country) 12 strings 8 pedals and your all set. I like sierra guitars, they're the cadilac of steels. Have one setting in my studio. emmons/MSA is a good middle choice....My opinions.....pose
