Topic: NGD

So I broke down and added to my collection. I've been looking at one of these for awhile now. Watching them on ebay and seeing them get above what I wanted to spend. Had my change and jumped on it. $73 including shipping. Came with a gig bag too. I figure if my son ever wants to learn it's just his size and if I get a younger student this should be a good size for them too.

Yamaha FG JR1. Spruce top, Meranti back and sides, Nato neck, 21 1/4 scale. Nothing fancy, some chips in the paint around the edges, and a small ding in the top. The frets have no wear and the fingerboard looks like it's never been played. It was dry too. It got a cleaning, oiling, soundport, and I also rounded the end of the frerboard to follow the shape of the soundhole. I hate how most are just square cut.
