Acoustic Guitar... Ibanez or Fender?
This will be my first guitar and I have limited choice's becauseI will be playing a left-handed acoustic guitar and price range. I would like to hear some personal preferences about these two brands and which one will offer more. These are the two guitars I have narrowed it down to.

Lester G. Thank you for the advice, I have tried to play right handed but I eventually just get frustrated. When ever I do get the chance to play on a left-handed guitar it feels more natural and comfortable to me and thats why I have decided to get a left-handed guitar.
If you haven't started left, I urge you to learn to play right handed. There's no reason not to and many reasons to do so. When you play the guitar both hands have an important job to do and if anything, fretting is the more challenging task. You would be doing that with your dominant hand.
As you already know, there are far more right handed guitars available and they tend to be cheaper than their left handed counterparts. Some models aren't available in a left handed version at all. Virtually all of the teaching material in books and DVD is geared for the right handed player.
I have never liked Fender acoustics so I'd probably recommend the Ibanez. Good luck.
