    Default Finally bought my guitar

    I got a flyer in the mail a week ago advertising a "Closed Door Sale for VIP list menmbers" at my local guitar store yesterday. I didn't figure they would be discounting guitars enough to convince me to buy one, but I thought it was worth going in to check it out. They had sold out of the Washburn D10S, which didn't break my heart, and the Seagull S6, a bit more concerning. Then I saw the pricetag on this:

    I don't think that mentioning pricing is a no-no on here, but I'll wait for confirmation before I brag how cheap I got it.

    I'm just thrilled with it. I played for an hour or better last night, then got up early this morning so I'd have a little quiet time before I left for work.

    When my wife got home last night, I picked up the old all lam cheapie I'd been learning on and strummed a couple of chords, then hit the same chords on my new A&L. The sound was so much more pleasing to the ear that she got over being pissed about me spending the money.: : :

    I was real happy to get it for $260 tax and all. Couldn't get him to throw in a case at that price, just a bag.

    That's funny. MY local guitar shop also had a "closed door VIP sale" yesterday and I bought an A&L guitar as well.

    Got mine for $230, and talked them into a big discount on a Rhino foam case.

    Congrats!! Looks like you got the same guitar in a different finish. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine. I could have gotten the same rhino case for $50, but chose not to blow the budget. I've got an old 70's model case I'll be using when the guit needs a place to sleep or rehydrate.

    Willis in Lexington is at the corner of New Circle and Nicholasville in Lexington Green, next door to where CompUSA used to be.
