I think I'll be ordering me one of those.

The genius of simplicity! Changing strings is thirsty work.

Strat,

Glad to know you are safe.

We just got a little rain, but you guys were hammered.

Gotta love the Blue Ridge.

(I guess they are the Smokys in your neck of the woods though, huh?)

Woo-Hoo!

I figured it out!

I have a "MySpace" now, and converted the *.wav to a *.mp3 and posted it on my page!

Thanks to all for your help!

You can hear my recording of this song at http://www.myspace.com/oldnewguy

Awesome, Jets.

Made me wonder when the last time was that I just looked at the stars.

Maybe me and "Bug" will do that on the next clear night we have.

Very playable, too. I have a daddycool song to try tonight, maybe I'll check this one out, too.

Awesome.

I had thought that I was cheap-skating it, but from your response, I feel like I am right in the ballpark.

My buddy got a Seagull, and it was a lot of guitar for the money, but I wasn't crazy about the sound. I have tried a few Takamines, and may go with a G Series. (I haven't seen anything terrible about them).

You bring up some brands that I hadn't considered, or even heard of. the Guitar Center near me has some Epiphones, maybe I will check them out too.

Looks like I have some sampling to do! (This is the fun part! I might stop on the way home...)

Yeah, I've had that "Oh Crap!" moment, too!

I keep a T-shirt near to dust off when I change strings, I'll try using it to protect the bridge, as well.

And, a few nicks do add character!

Thanks, again, Pix.

I think I want to stay in the $500-$600 range, but  will buy the write box when I find it, but I certainly won't approach the $1,000 mark, as I am married to a very frugal woman, and I enjoy sleeping indoors.

At the moment, I am feeling out the various options in my range, and know that when I decide, it will take some saving to make the purchase. (probably will be purchasing in the late spring, early summer.)

Please let me know if I am whistling dixie, thinking I can get a decent instrument for this amount. I am happy with my Jasmine, and am only looking to go A/E, but don't want to buy another laminated-top guitar. If I have to save more, and for a longe period, I will do that, as I say, I am in no rush.

I really appreciate everyone's input. Very informative.

Well, concerning used guitars, my standard approach with e-bay is to go into the real world, and decide which one I want, and what the price range is, then find exactly that on ebay, hopefully less expensive.

I waded through your thread on this issue, and see that you certainly did some homework on the subject. I have been "considering" a purchase for months now, and I go into every shop I see (in and out of town) to play different makes. (That's how I discovered the Tanglewood). I have a good idea what sound I want, I just need to make sure I'm not buying a hunk of crap that will fall apart.

Thanks, again, for the link, and your input!

What did the Zookeeper say when the monkey asked for more bananas?...

Nice, watsonchad.

Anyone have advice on pegs? I seem to be unable to get them out without scuffing up the bridge, and I find it difficult to get them in tight enough (I am always afraid I will push my hand right through the top, and end up with the pre-mature Willie Nelson look.

I have a peg winder with that little divot which is supposed to be a "peg puller" but I find it to be as useful as a football bat.

anyone?
