A few thoughts: What moves you? It might be good to focus on your own playing as opposed to the professional setting--bridging that gap between technique and the mundane. When you pick up a guitar, can you easily discern what you like about it, what you don't like about it? If you can, apply that knowledge/feeling to what is available locally. There are many players who say "when I picked up that guitar and played it, I HAD to have it!" If that is NOT the case and you have the money, it doesn't really matter what guitar you buy, as you can grow into the guitar (by playing it and getting better) and hopefully you can discern the above, or resell the guitar and get what sounds good for you and your playing. For myself, I heard Jason McGuire (sp?) play an Ethan Deutsch (frequents the forum) guitar on YT and I ended up buying one on Ebay with the thought that I could resell it if I didn't like it. That was about five years ago, and I have no plans of selling it, but yeah, that's an option--is to buy the best guitar you can from someone you admire (as you said) but the question is will it live up to expectations? If money is not an issue you can always resell, if you don't mind potential loss on your investment. Good luck!
