BIG NEWS - I bought a new guitar!! I LOVE it. It's small, almost 1/2 the size of a regular guitar, but it has an AWESOME sound. I even fiddled with recording it a bit tonite! It was funny, in the store, I was sitting playing this $200 guitar which fit my budget & sounded okay... and then I saw this little guitar on the wall so I asked about it, but it was way over my budget. I said I'd take the one I was playing. While she was organizing a gig bag & that, I took down the little guitar and began to play it -- from the FIRST STROKE I could just hear the difference. But it was nearly $400!!! But I bought it because my instincts said to. I'm glad I did and I'll work out the money part somehow. It occured to me later that I've been craving a smaller guitar so it's easier to play. And I've been looking for a warmer, richer sound than my beautiful Eko has with its nylon strings. YEAH!

I'll have to take a picture and post it so you can see!
