Title: Cheap Guitars and Shameless Self Promotion
Post by: Percy on October 04, 2019, 10:09:10 AM
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.
