Come on, SUIM. Are you going to keep us in suspense all day? What kind of guitar did you get???
I bought a nice Ibanez for my oldest son, but I'm taking it back tomorrow. On closer inspection, I noticed a slight crack starting on the top,right along where the neck and body meet. It looks like it took a hit during shipping. Great sounding guitar, though. It has a solid spruce top and sounds as good as my Martin!

Hi Cathy: Well, it's no Martin or Gibson or Ibanez. It's a Johnson player's series dreadnaught and that's just fine! It has a real sweet sound for a lower end, starter guitar. My son helped pick it out and stowed it at his apartment the past couple of weeks and one of his musician buddies came by and played it and was impressed with the quality for the price. I'm just happy to have it. As I told my wife (Santa), just make it a good starter guitar for me and let's see where it takes me. Though I must admit that I'm already contemplating the upgrade to a Martin one day. But first I expect I'll look into a 12-string too. For now, however, I've got my work cut out to get up to speed. Oh...my son also picked me up a new set of Bill Keith's for my 30-year-old banjo so I'll be doing a lot of picking again for the first time in years!
Just call me: "SUIM-ing in my second youth!" Now, if Borderstone would just check in and tell us what he got for Christmas! Don't keep us hanging for the next 10 days B-stone!
