It is an Esteban El Kabongo model! :D At least it wasn't a baby Taylor :D :D

Just kidding! Have a happy April Fools Day!

Taylors are nice guitars, I just haven't played one that I liked yet.

Bad girl!

My college roommate (circa 1981-82) told me recently he's gotten back into guitar, and he DID buy an Esteban!

If he bought an Esteban, he didn't get back into guitar! :D

I'm really bad today!

Esteban loosely translated in Spanish:
Este: this
Ban: To impose a ban on something.

Esteban this Guitar!! :D

I actually really teased someone who works in my building that is also a guitar lover. I told him that I bought an Esteban El Kabongo model. He said "Really?I never heard of that one." I said, "Yea, it's one of those where you pluck the string and the guitar self destructs".

He told me that his brother has 5 Estebans. I asked him "What does your brother do with them?" He said, "Nothing. He just hangs them up on a wall and admires them."

Yeah? Okay... I own 12 Ovations, but they are different.
What is the difference in Esteban's, except some have prettier abalone contact paper.

Well, Ovations may be a little different, but at least you can take one off the wall and play it without it going "el kabong" on you! :D

Abalone contact paper -- that's funny! :D

One thing I did hear about Estebans is how difficult their action is to adjust. I heard that they have relatively high action.

A friend of mine who started playing guitar around the same time I did could not find a left handed guitar,so, he saw the Infommercial and bought one. As it was a lefty it was difficult to attempt to play it,but, I do remember the action was so incredibly high it was difficult to fret the strings. I also remember the frets edges feeling like razors!! NASTY!!! My friend now play exclusively Electric. Said after that experience he hates Acoustics!! Do say, I've tried!!!
