Is that a beer can pull-tab inlayed at the 5th fret? Does kinda look like that! Maybe I should add one.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lets-see-the-beaters/paged/2/#post-289123 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lets-see-the-beaters/paged/2/#post-289079 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 02:06:10 +0000

I got it for free when I signed up for 10 half-hour lessons. I was already taking lessons from the guy at the store so it was a no brainer to do it because lessons are normally $15 so it was a deal in itself without the guitar. So it was a win-win situation for me. Free guitar and lessons to learn how to make it not sound like crap. :lol:

It's a New York pro and they go for $99(at least at the store i got it at). It didn't sound that good with the stock strings, but after putting on some ernie balls, it sounds really warm and full. The fretboard is synthetic so it is pretty impervious to weather changes which makes it good for outdoor use.

I am gonna take it with me when my family goes up to our cabin this summer. Hopefully the neighbors will enjoy my campfire serenades. :D

A little tale about the guitar:
Behind the bridge their is a little paint chip that occured from when my heavy electric guitar (a jackson) decided to fall of its stand and use one of it's tuning pegs to teach the poor little acoustic who's the boss. I filled in the chip with a black sharpie so it really isn't that noticeable, but whatever, it gives it character.
If you look at the pic, it is that little dot of glare.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Daniel Lioneye https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lets-see-the-beaters/paged/2/#post-289079 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lets-see-the-beaters/paged/2/#post-288999 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 16:40:13 +0000 Is that a beer can pull-tab inlayed at the 5th fret? :wink:]]> Guitar Players Discussion kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lets-see-the-beaters/paged/2/#post-288999 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lets-see-the-beaters/paged/2/#post-288978 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:54:06 +0000

Just because its a beater doesnt mean it doesnt feel the love :D]]> Guitar Players Discussion Dommy09 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lets-see-the-beaters/paged/2/#post-288969 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lets-see-the-beaters/paged/2/#post-288966 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 06:14:34 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion ksac32 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lets-see-the-beaters/paged/2/#post-288966 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lets-see-the-beaters/paged/2/#post-288958 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 03:47:44 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion SGinCYQX https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lets-see-the-beaters/paged/2/#post-288958 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lets-see-the-beaters/paged/2/#post-288920 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 22:58:21 +0000
