So, yesterday I decided to go down to the local guitar shop for a new set of strings for my S12. I noticed a few new arrivals, one of which I have had my eye on. I have noticed on the forum, a tendency to try electrics. After a discussion about pricing and how I could price match later for any discounts offered for Black Friday. Now I have the guitar in hand and won't have to rush to the store on Friday morning hoping one is still in stock.

henk ,

Congratulations on the new guitar, it looks a beauty, sure it will give you many happy years of playing.

I've only recently got in to playing the electric guitar, and really like it, can do barre chord's that were almost impossible on the Acoustic Guitar.
I enjoy playing with my headphones on, from the small Blackstar Fly3 amplifier, sounds very good, and can play in the same room as the wife and we both live in harmony.
Sometimes if it's quite,. I will play the Electric Guitar, Acoustically and it's loud enough for practicing.
Anyway enjoy that new guitar, they are very kind on the fingers,. If you play fingerpicking style. 😀

henk , I'm not an electric player, but I've heard that PRS are some good ones...enjoy that thing!

Derick , your comments about playing your electric unplugged make me remember a friend of mine who once only owned an Epiphone electric Les Paul copy. He would play and I would sing, very quietly.... of course, he had a guitar, but no amplifier.
That was 40+ years ago. Dave & I still play guitars together, but now we can hear them a lot better.

Dave has been gassing for a PRS electric...... he has two Les Pauls, and a couple of Strats, but somehow still gets a little gas.

Well, Long & McQuade were true to their word. The PRS Santana was a Black Friday special and the salesman called me today. I have a $150. refund coming, just have to drop by sometime.

Revisiting the Tacoma, noticed a few odd features. The bridge has no 90 degree angles and is shaped a little like a musical note. The nut is tall and uses deep groves to compensate, also the headstock shape is not familiar to me. This guitar's list price in the catalog was $1170.00....no wonder they closed down within 10 years of operation....good guitar, but that's a stretch.

Seagulls live 40 + years....so should our guitars

WELCOME TO THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR CABIN!!!
