New Guitar

;-) It has been my experience through the years... if looks like a turd, smells like a turd and is in the pasture... yep! that'sa cow turd alright!

That being said... I'm reminded of that horrible looking thing Willie totes around. My stars, could there be a more unsiutable use for God's creation than turning it into that thing?! That being said... it has also, in the eyes of millions, become one of the most recognized, loved and enjoyed sounds ever to grace vinyl, tape or plastic.

Here's hoping you find the joy hiding in it someplace... :)

I was looking for a small guiter to throw in the trunk. Something to play during lunch.
While on my wanderings last week while waiting for my car to be repaired, I was looking at a Martin Backpacker and similar traveling guitars at GC. Two hunnerd bucks.
No.
So I bought a First Act Discovery Designer Guitar at WalMart* tonight. Twenty-seven bucks after my discount.
And it sounds like a $27 guitar, too.

Better record that thing on your Radio Shack cassette recorder with the built in mic then.

well...for $27... I hope you were not expecting ...... anything really sweet.

It's good to have a "beater" guitar... if it gets broke, scratched, stolen... nobody really gives a flip... buy another and life goes on.

Something to have fun with....

I bought a $20 guitar with a case at a yard sale..... man it was ugly, grotesque almost... dark green, with switches on stuff on it.... it was tacky looking.... anyway, I carried it to the gig that night..... plugged it in and tuned it up.... Oh I did put some new EB super slinks on it.... turned on the boogie.... and what ear torturing thin tone...and the feedback.... oh my.  Unplugged it after one or two songs and grabbed my Gibson, and to think I almost left the Gibson home that night... sure glad I didn't.

End of the night.... the soundman said he wanted to buy it.. so I sold it to him... $25... to cover the new set of strings.

Canoe guitar

Bapu has one of those.

It's an Alembic bass (did you know Bapu has an Alembic?).  I said it looks great but canoe play it?

$27 though, I'm not sure that I would spend that much on a guitar given my skills on one.
