Yes, I realise that there are plenty "What should i buy next threads" out there. But most of them seemed pretty old.

I've been playing for about two years now, and would like to buy a new guitar. Willing to spend around $700-$800 max. This is a lot when you are 15.. Sort of leaning towards Ibanez, but still open to other choices. I know it's all about getting into shops and feeling the guitars for myself. But I would like some advice before I do so. Most probably will be getting it mid next year, so got plenty of time to decide. Any advice/opinion gladly welcomed. The more info the better.
