Topic: new guitar

Poped into the music store just to look, apperently this shop just bought out another music store  and had a small surplus of guitars. I
was standing at the counter buying strings when a sales person was setting up a display with major discounts on five guitars. I tried them all and purchased a Washburn d 100 half price. It has great action and tone, I played it all day.   Hey wife can't say anything about purchase as I scrimped and saved for a day like this.



happy badeye    cool

You can never have too many impromptu purchases imo!

Re: new guitar

Hi guys, I was really saving for a guitar around the 500 to 600 dollar mark, I was in the right place at the right time as this guitar was put on sale for 150.00 canadian. I tried all five on sale and this one had a good feel and tone. Easy decision. I told a good friend about the deal and he got the last one on sale and he wants to learn.   My collection grows.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.
