                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Oh wait, Christmas works differently over there. Yeah, if you gave it during a grand gathering of the family then taking it back yourself would be kinda nasty. Over here I celebrate chrismas with friends and gifts rarely exceed the price of a sixpack. In such circumstances it would be pretty weird to give a guitar and amp in the first place but if you did you could always ask it back. Kinda forget that people celebrate Christmas in bigger ways, if that is the case with you definitely do NOT follow the advice I gave earlier. :D]]></content:encoded>

Demanding it back would be pretty poor form in either case.<br><br>Sam: Is the acoustic that you're playing now really so bad that you <I>need</I> a new one? Myself, I'd cover my bases and build from there - get an electric and carry on using the acoustic you've got, and then save for upgrades. That way, regardless of quality, you have one of each type to play while you're saving.<br><br>Just my $.04 ($0.02 on each issue :))]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Had an electric Ibanez guitar, a distortion pedal, and an amp last year.  A cousin of mine was interested in playing guitar so I gave it to him for Christmas.  This February I picked up my acoustic that I hadn't touched in years and have since been playing every day.  I regret giving that electric away since it was the only one I owned and I am now saving up for a decent acoustic, so I can't buy an electric.  Saw the Squier 51 thread, but I gotta save up every penny for the Breedlove acoustic I want.   :cry:]]></content:encoded>
