Hello everyone,
While shopping at the local GC yesterday, and found that they had a used Yamaha FG830 in Natural finish. I played a new one a couple of years ago and liked what I heard, but couldn't buy one at the time. Ever since, I've been looking for a used one.
Now, I don't need it, but I liked the way it played and sounded. A little setup work would help it.
I asked one of the staff if he could give me a ballpark figure for buying my RK RD-A9M, and the figure he told me was ok. Just ok, not great, but not something to ignore, either. I would still be out of pocket a but to complete the purchase.
The RK has been an ok guitar, but I haven't been able to get it to fully live up to its potential. I did get it cheap, sold as having some issues and barely used. Maybe there's a lesson there.
If I did this, I would have a nice dred in the Eastman, a decent Ibanez GC for days when my arthritis causes issues, and a "beater" that's really too good to be a beater but could spend most of its time out on the stand where it's easy to grab for quick practice.
Any thoughts?
