My husband told me he was wanting me to look around for a light-blue guitar, and has considered learning how to play...
Do you realize, what this could mean???!!!! 
Does anybody have one that they would be willing to part with? HELP!!!!
While I really want to push Stephen's Adamas, I know a lower priced, "starter guitar" might just be the ticket to my shopping dreams. |

PS - If he wants an electric, this one is kind of nice.

I really like Mark's thinking....and he is a lawyer after all ;) |

Location: Boise, Idaho | No one has accused me of thinking in a long time. Maybe because it looks like I'm sleeping. There are also some very good starter guitars that sound decent and won't kill your fingers. Most of the good ones I've seen are used. A nice Alvarez and a "Monterey" Kaman Music Product. $100 for either at the local GC. I bought the Monterey for somebody who was just starting. I'd have bought the Alvarez if I hadn't already bought the Monterey. The Monterey is the same as a Montana as far as I could tell. Not blue, though, so you better go with the Adamas and don't be afraid to admit that you wanted him to have it because he deserved the best. That's what I wish my wife would say to me. |

Just like Mark was saying. He might really not enjoy the pain of those pesky F chords and I will have to swoop in and take the loss for the purchase. ;)
Mitchrx found a nice blue Balladeer for him but I think I will have to take my chances with the 82 Collector.
Husbands can be SO expensive. :rolleyes:
Thankyou Mitch! |

Are you mocking me? 
I think that guitar needs sum extra loving that I just cannot give. I'd have to call the guitar medics and that would not be a happy story.
If I were to hand him a beater and he has to look at my new CL, I had better just ask Mark to get the paperwork started...
The description about no electronics and the chipped bridge has me...  |
