I was at a charity fund raiser event where there was a silent auction happening...I donated a nice WRC live edge slab and bid on a guitar donated by the local music store. I got it for 230.00. I have a 3000.00 Martin D18 which sounds awesome but Im thinking not 2770.00 better. These must be CNC/robot built as the quality was so much better than I expected. When I was taking it home before I played it, my intention was to give it away to some one just starting out.....but after plinking for a few miniutes, I decided to keep it. No buzzes, light action, stays in tune all over the fingerboard...here it is just after I got it home on a little ditty of mine thats been half finished for the last 30 years... ;D

And you won't feel so bad bringing it to a campfire or putting that first dent or scratch on it.

I have a cheap ($200) Washburn that I bought in the early nineties plays well after I lowered the action a bit but adding a bone bridge instead of a plastic one really woke it up. A cheap and easy bump up in sound quality. (apparently deer antler is suppose to be even a bit better than bone)

One can never have too many guitars. :D smiley_guitarist
I have found a "cheap" guitar comes in handy as a back up when playing gigs, just in case a string breaks, and to have an extra to loan out for jam sessions.
Under bark there's boards and beams, somewhere in between.

Nice tune. You have anything recorded anywhere?

Good to see a feller enjoy his music.  I liked it.  Banjo
