I bought a guitar from LaFalseta, also from a well-known private dealer here on the forum. I also bought a Gipsy Kings model guitar recently for live gigs. All happened to be positive experiences. I do think that guitars are personal things, but sometimes you just have to try them out and move them if you don't like them. It's a good idea to buy a well-known brand for that reason. I knew that the Gipsy Kings model would be easy to sell if it didn't work out.
I own three guitars and each one feels and sounds completely different. Basically, I have to make adjustments--play lighter or harder, for example, with each one. But it's just part of being a guitarist. I think that each guitar you learn how to play helps you become a better guitarist. I have a friend who is so picky about his guitars that he has been complaining about using the same one for 5 years or more.
I think it's better to take a chance of hitting a home run online than just going to Guitar Center and getting some plywood that they happen to have in stock.
