Hi Whistler…
I've played for nearly 57 years now, and my guitar acquiring process is to save the $$$ to pay cash-n-carry, and not sell out short. If the guitar didn't tick off all my boxes, I kept looking. Once I bought one, I either kept or sold the one I was currently playing. I played guitars until one captured my heart to the point I could not stand to walk away without it. Then I struck the best deal I could and brought it home. This served me well till I commissioned my first hand-built guitar (an Olson) and the process was still the same. Actually I sold my 17 yr old D-28 to help pay for it and played a cheap Jasmine till the Olson was completed. By the time James had it built, we had it paid for, and it's now 27 yrs old and is still my main guitar. The Jasmine went to one of our 4 sons who loved to play guitar (he was a bassist & it served him well). Not saying what you should do - just sharing my story. |

Even now I'm still learning. But it was worth it. You will grab it faster than you think once you get used to holding a pick in a way that works for you. And for me, it made me a better finger style player too. I learned to look at my limitations and found I learn to adapt to other ways of playing more quickly. And that bass! Nothing like it once you learn to work with it particularly with a guitar that has good highs too. I think my Martins do that best. My Bourgeois are more piano like and balanced.
