This is a great time to buy one
There's so much choice out there for every budget. I recommend giving Sigma a look. They used to be owned by Martin, but they still use the same designs and build quality, but for a fraction of the price.

They're brilliant for the money
Find out if your local place stocks them and give one a strum.

What I'd really like is a Gibson J200
Can you get me one?

I wish
She's never shown any interest. It would be so much easier to get big purchases past her if she did.

I tried a J200 - found it a bit cumbersome...
...probably due to my short arms and fat gut. Weren't they called 'The whispering giant' at one time because they were very very quiet for such a big guitar?

I saw John Renbourn live a couple of years ago
He was using what I can only describe as a fat guy guitar stand - a little stand to support his guitar on his lap, so that he could hold it in such a position that his rather large belly didn't inhibit his playing.

I've seen those!
They were supposed to hold the guitar at the correct angle - bet they were actually designed for the more portly gentleman though!
