Amazing what you can find to sell when motivated enough!

Watch this space for updates on guitar purchases....]]> Opinions and Polls Rich_Halford https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/jumbo-acoustic-general-advice-sought/#post-287030 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/jumbo-acoustic-general-advice-sought/#post-285567 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 13:21:48 +0000 Rahul - I checked out your Soundclick pages. Both your singing and playing is superior to mine and getting to where you are is what I aspire to. As is the way with this dang guitar thing, when I get there I am sure I'll want to keep on going, but what can you do? As for you having my 314 for free, while your playing deserves it more than mine I am going to have to say no. It is without doubt my second favourite 'non-living' thing (first is my wedding ring) and I don't plan on parting with it while I am alive. I bought it when my wife told me she was pregnant with our daughter - I sold a shed load of things to fund it on the basis that I didn't know if I'd ever be able to afford it again - and the plan is to leave it to her when I snuff it!
Rich, I never wanted your guitar for free. It was just a kidding comment. But thanks for sharing so much with us. :)

And thanks for checking out my page.

Infact, to own a SJ200 someday is my dream also.]]> Opinions and Polls Rahul https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/jumbo-acoustic-general-advice-sought/#post-285567 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/jumbo-acoustic-general-advice-sought/#post-285459 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 23:01:27 +0000 But... getting back to the basic part of the question, lets say that all acoustic guitars in the world were $5 - which would you choose for belting out a song to sing along to?

And for those that have tried/owned a Gibson SJ200*, is it that lovely?

I know I'd mentioned Avalon before, but with your price range, go straight to checking out the Lowdens. Guarantee your ears will think you've gone to heaven.

Reality check - I have more than I need already, ergo no need to buy any more guitars. Sorted :D

But... getting back to the basic part of the question, lets say that all acoustic guitars in the world were $5 - which would you choose for belting out a song to sing along to?

And for those that have tried/owned a Gibson SJ200*, is it that lovely?

*is there a difference between a j200 and an SJ200?

P.S. I often get stuck between "no point in having a £2000 guitar if you only have £20 fingers" and "if you have an instrument you truly love you are bound to want to pick it up and play it more often" and "I have £20 fingers now, but I'll have £2000 fingers in 20 years, so why wait :lol: "]]> Opinions and Polls Rich_Halford https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/jumbo-acoustic-general-advice-sought/#post-285401 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/jumbo-acoustic-general-advice-sought/#post-285393 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 07:21:12 +0000
But it sure is a nice guitar.

Bro, this is the wrong place to come expecting someone to talk you out of buying a guitar.
if it feels right to you, buy it. all this nonsense about playing level is only relevent to your budget and your desire to become a better player or to pursue a dream reguardless of what other people may say.
life's too short man, i say go for it.]]> Opinions and Polls TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/jumbo-acoustic-general-advice-sought/#post-285348
