Buy a new acoustic guitar

The current one I have was bought for under $100 and it’s been around for 3 years. The string is too high from the fretboard and pressing it really hurts. I want a new guitar to bring back the joy of playing guitar.

This would undoubtedly encourage me with another one of my goals… playing guitar more. I need a good acoustic with low action so that I don’t annihilate my fingertips while re-building my callouses. My last acoustic, a beautiful Art and Lutherie sunburst which recently finally snapped at the base of the string stock, had great sound but was really tight on the action. I’d like my next acoustic to be less classical-sounding and more subtle with the high end and resonates fully on the low end. Yeah. Something like that. :)

Okay, so technically I didn’t buy it myself. But I intended to pay for it. I woke up Nichole (my girlfriend) yesterday morning to show her a great deal on musiciansfriend (www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid) and I joked that she should buy it for me….though half serious. This is because she has a credit card and I do not, I figured she’d put out the initial purchase since the deal only lasted one day, and that I’d pay back if she chose to do it…which I didn’t think she would…

Long story short, I will have a new guitar…once I buy her a promise ring. It’s hard not to love her hahaha.

I don’t think I will ever get rid of my first guitar…my girlfriend has it now…I sacrificed it to her to help us, it had a meaning to it…as well as help myself in preventing procrastination so much.

I still need a new one…that one was warped and busted. But it is my first…that’s what happens

Some time ago I needed some cash quickly, so I pawned my guitar. When I went back to get it several weeks later thay had mistakenly sold it. I was so sad. A guitar becomes a friend and it was like not only losing a friend but also letting that friend and indeed myself down.

I have vowed to replace it with exactly the same model.
