No returns? good lord man...where are you? The Ukraine?😉 2 shops in the vicinity. Bad experiences at both. I'm just trying to have a happy NGD.

It arrived today, late, but it is a keeper. Ha! TFOA has an interesting concept on 'near mint.' There's a scoring under the guitar that I'll have to have looked at, as well as various dings. Setup is perfect, sound is great, light as a feather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Glenn F Posted October 29, 2019 Author Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 You can... I was just fingerpicking on her, in Drop D. I've wanted to learn Travis picking for ages, but could never get my thumb to act independently of my fingers. I remembered a lesson by 'Shut Up and Play Your Guitar' on YT (wasn't/isn't he a member here?) on The Beatles' Dear Prudence. So, I started, slowly, and ding! ding! DING! the light has come on. I can't get it to speed yet, but now I am confident that I will. I know this is a fairly rudimentary exemplar of the technique, but it is a beginning. And it happened on this guitar. The dropped D is deep. Deeper than what you would expect of a guitar that weighs in at approx. 1.6 kgs. The neck, a modified low oval, is my favourite neck. Whoever this belonged to, had it set up for fingerstyle. The action is very low, though no buzzes, even when pushed a bit with a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garthman Posted October 30, 2019 Members Share Posted October 30, 2019 Promising? I love drop D. And I love double drop D even better. And I am a 95%+ finger-picker. Do you want to sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations and Happy New (Used) Guitar Day (again). Best of luck. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
