Actually - think of the hand reach 8' Mëds has - he can likely get 8 frets in without moving his hand.

Nah, It's the kid's gig, but if you need advice on warming a pool I'll give you a dingle.

Re: Guitars
Some good advice for beginner guitar buying from Mëds. The bit about using a capo for key signatures and beginning strumming is true. I still use capos a lot.
Kind of confirms my thoughts between Yamaha & Fender acoustics. Yamaha just has a much better record and longer history of quality in this area. He is also correct about A & L in regards to their lineup.
Personally, I still think the A & L is a good choice for Topper's kid. Without seeing or hearing it, still seems like very good value. Some hard cases cost almost as much as the guitar.
I don't know if a warmed-up guitar might sound a lot brighter and warmer? There might not be a huge difference in body size, but I still don't like the big dreadnaught body.

Re: Guitars
Picked up the A&L, the deal was too good to pass on and it sounds great.
Thanks for the advice

Nice axe, Topper!

Re: Guitars
Nice too see there's a bunch of guitar nerds on site. (with Topper adding to the junior division)
I've been hacking around for about close to 40 years, can't play worth shit, can't play any song straight through, but it's a great way to relax.
I've picked up a few guitars (more recently), but can't justify the expense of the Fenders and Gibsons, etc. The tinnitus, lack of rhythm and tone-deafness hasn't stopped me from buying a few along the way.
Fender 210 Acoustic - my oldest, from the 80s. A classic.
Hagstrom Acoustic/Electric - my 'go to' in the evenings
Hagstrom Swede (Les Paul style)
G&L Tribute (Strat style) - my 'go to' when I plug in
Godin A6 bass - won in a (somewhat) rigged bar raffle.
Dia (70s Japanese Les Paul style) - can't find much about this one, but had for about 30 years.
A custom art piece, Strat-style - one of a kind
2 cigar box guitars
And a $10 classical I bought at a yard sale last month.
For amps, I have a Epiphone Valve Jr tube amp - sweet and simple, and a Spark practice amp - which has some very cool bells and whistles with the app.
Sadly, I've been too busy to pick any of them up for the past few weeks.
Also, I've got a drum kit - but DAMN, that is hard to learn!!
