Why I'm Here

 

My name is Francisco J Navas (Frank)The truth is that I was always surrounded by 3 cheap guitars, and although I was very attracted to them, to learn, there was never any real motivation until I saw an interview with David Crosby where he talks about his extraordinary collection of guitars and says: anyone who want to learn to play guitar needs to have a very good quality, the sound, the wood smell, creates a real motivation, so I bought a Takamine P7N Natural if my memory does not fail, it was used, a guitar of about $ 2800, I bought it at $ 1200.00 with a small scratch, it also missing 2 strings. I started playing like crazy, I was in love with my guitar, but in the economic depression of 2008 (I am Realtor) I saw myself in a very difficult situation and I had to sell many things that I had in my garage besides my guitar, I sold it after a year and a half at $ 1700.00, $ 500 more than it cost me, but I could pay some debts, including 2 months of my car payment I was late. That night I cried and I promised myself that one day I would have a good guitar again,so after 8 years, I bought a Epiphone JS-200 acoustic, a pretty decent guitar, that happened 8 months ago today, thank God, I have 2 of the 3 Cheap guitars that I used to have, Carlo Robelli Dreadnought, and a semi hollow electric Carlo Robelli, I also have Epiphone Les Paul 1960 Tribute, American Standard Fender Stratocaster, Martin backpacker and my favorite, Taylor 410eR 2016 , I’m still learning, happy with what I have, I thank God for giving me the opportunity to recover financially and give me the opportunity to have a good guitar
