I was so unhappy with my old nylon string acoustic guitar
that I began to shop for my dream guitar.
I then thought, "I'm not putting the time in on this one."
took it in for new strings and professional set up;
it came back like a new (to me) instrument;
and I have been putting in some time with it for the last 7 or 8 months;
savings = $1,500 - $2,000.
and now pleasurable practice;
I figure I should earn the finer instrument
by developing my chops on the old bird in the hand.
