mystery solved: what guitar to buy?
I have finallly figured out what guitars I need and why. The best guitar for me is vintage and has had the snot played out of it….likely been broken at some point and skillfully repaired. My advantage when playing this is I don’t worry (much) about if something hits it, if I drop it, if a kid comes up and bangs on it, and best of all I know that this put together version is special enought in sound that someone took the time to put it back together. This lets me into the vintage markets without the suprisingly large pricetag. I’ll take a cracked guitar anyday as long as it has been skillfully repaired….I will even go so far as to say the crack relieved some of the stress the wood was under so it sounds better?/louder that it’s own previously uncracked version….no proof just a feeling.

Love this Jeff! Although, when I think vintage, I think larger price tag. But that said, I have several vintage, and none really cost me an arm and a leg. If they weren’t played much or weren’t damaged and repaired, it doesn’t matter. I’ve played them enough to break them in and bring out the aged sound that I love so much.
