I'm looking for my first acoustic-electric guitar (I usually play electrics). I am looking for a good quality instrument that should last me a long time. I have done some research and come up with the following models that all look good (and hopefully play quite well). I was pretty keen on the PRS but have found some other models that might be better (especially with free shipping form musician's friend
). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cons:no pickup or tuner, have to pay shipping
