- Research: I have not given up research, it's just that now I've got a team of 10 people and am established in York and so I'm no longer putting in 12 hours work a day. Been learning to play (electric) since 2019, joined the TFB in 2021.
- One trick ponies: yes, that's more or less what I would want from one of these guitars. I play electric most of the time, so my other needs are covered already.
- Small acoustics sounding boxy: small and boxy doesn't sound too bad for me. I don't like my dreadnought. It sounds too loud, vibrates too much and too close to my chest. I am autistic and have trouble regulating with this kind of stuff. I've also got problems with how bronze strings feel. So I think I'm ready to try something new.
- Vintage: I didn't like the neck.
- Gretsch: They look nice, and the special editions look nicer. Not 100% convinced about the pickup though. I thought I didn't need it. I never plug my dreadnought in. But the sound of the plugged Gin Rickey is delightfully low-fi and I like it. So I am very confused and don't know what to do anymore.
- Fender: I like the cheaper 'parlour' (sorry, Americans). But I also like VERY MUCH their Redondo and Sonoran MINI, particularly the mahogany one looks sick. Ok, maybe not sick, or sick but in a nice way.
Can you install soundhole pickups and a jack without drilling? Like, reusing the strap button or something.

just because you do, doesn't mean you should.

Don't worry too much about plugging in- both my and my sister's acoustics have been plugged in precisely once (to the best of my recollection!), to check the electronics were working! Admittedly we only play at home, and we do use the built-in tuner a lot. And it probably wouldn't hurt to check the electrics are working before you get outside the return period, just in case.

Manufacturers' websites are usually a bit better- I don't go by anything I read on retailers' websites!
But whether they're enough better that you'd want to trust them... apart from anything, specs can change and a shop could have an older model or something like that.
