Now, I can already tell what your first question is.
"Why the hell should I ask *her* anything?"
The answer: because I'm psychic. How do you think I figured out what you were thinking?
I'm joking, hon.
The REAL answer: because for a girl of my age, I've witnessed, and been involved in, some quite strange situations, and emerged relatively unscathed. That, and I'm used to giving advice; we people with problems seem to attract each other. ;) Hopefully I'll be able to apply previous knowledge to your situation. If not, well, my judgment's usually good when applied to someone else's issues. (Mine are another story, sadly enough.)
That, and my grasp on the English language is fairly good, barring my habit of injecting numerous cute-isms and emoticons into my typing.
Convinced yet?
Probably not, but take a chance nevertheless...

I'm just starting out in the guitar world, and I've been doing some research. I've decided that I want a Fender, because they've gotten good reviews and are in my price range (or the ones I've seen, anyway.)My questions consist of:
1. What's a dreadnaught? Is it bigger than a Grand Concert?
2. Are you supposed to use a pick with acoustics?
3. What is the best kind of case?
4. What's a good price (in general) for a Fender?
I think I want the Grand Concert GC-12 Acoustic, but I also might want the DG 245 Dreadnaught Acoustic.

Well, I'm not exactly an expert on guitars... I've only been playing for about 3 months, and just picked out my first guitar (it's a Fender, too :D), but I think I can help you with most of your questions.
1. I'm honestly not certain about this one... sorry.
2. You don't *have* to use a pick with acoustics (other methods include strumming, plucking, rest and free strokes, and probably any number of things as of yet unfamiliar to me), but you certainly can.
3. I would recommend a good-quality hard case, just to ensure that your guitar is as well-protected as possible.
4. Ooh, this one varies quite a bit. You can generally find a good Fender for under $500. If your budget is extremely tight, you could always go the "used" route as well... just make sure to examine the instrument thoroughly before buying.
Hope this helps. I'd tell you to rock on, but that's so impossibly clichéd, it's not even funny. ^^;
