I was afraid you'd say that. Time to start saving again.

Takamines always sound great plugged in from what I have witnessed

I've played 4 different open mics this last month each time someone has complemented me on how good it sounds. I might need to let someone else play it so I can see for myself

It’s not a bad idea, I share my Martin 00015m at open mics with a friend who doesn’t have a pickup, first time I heard it I was amazed how good it sounded.

This morning, as I was returning my French polished classical guitar to its case, the pen that I forgot about, fell from my shirt pocket onto the top of the guitar. I retrieved the pen and closed the case. Tonight, I'll look at yet another blemish.

Maybe it's the more fragile finish, but this guitar seems to attract dings. That pen would have stayed in my pocket were I playing my $100.00 Mitchell.

Maybe I should take a stick and give them a good wack when the first get through the door to get it over with.

Bingo!
One man's ding is another man's ka-ching.
Have you seen what the Pre-War Guitar Co gets for their "reliced" guitars-and how long you have to wait for one? Some look like they got beat with an ugly stick.
