Can you try the same one out at a store near you?

Oh yes. I have played a number of guitars of the model I am interested in.  Played one tonight actually.


:-)

It just my opinion, but I think an acoustic instrument really needs to be played because no two are alike; same make, same model, made on the same day by the same people may play differently. I've played some expensive guitars that I didn't like and some inexpensive guitars that were really fun to play. Acoustics all seem to have their own personality. That said, if they'll let you exchange or try a few copies then go for it.
 
P.S. I don't think MF/GC does any final set-up, so you may want to have that done after purchasing the instrument.

I'm just popping in to say, "I may be in error."  I've pulled up all my orders from musicians friend, and at the current moment it does not look like my last purchase of picks and strings was from them.

I must have ordered from somewhere else, but I can't remember where.

Although I am 90% sure I have seen a big huge, "musicians friend," complex off I95 down here, my eyes did not catch it today, and I can not seem to find what I am talking about via bing, or google search.

so what you're saying is that you've entered the Twilight Zone?
 
which team are you on? 

I agree with the Sweetwater recommendation

Fast shipping, setup, warranty, support ....  Cant beat them

Hey Dave, 

I work for Musician's Friend and would be happy to help you with your decision! We do have a very simple return policy. If there are any problems with the guitar (shipping damage, defects) you have 45 days to return and we will cover shipping back to us. If you get this guitar and it's just not what you were hoping for, we will still set you up with the return, but you will be responsible for return shipping back to us. Please let me know if you have any troubles placing your order! Email me at forums@musiciansfriend.com for any additional questions. 

Thanks, 
Courtney S.

I wonder how their return policy compares to MF?

Not sure


Thats was nice of MF to pop in and give ya a note though.


Youll have to check the others policy as well on returns, Ive never had to use that route.

Yes. I wonder how long it will be before a Sweetwater Rep joins the discussion. Hehe
