    Default New Guitar

    Well my gram and pap brought me down my birthday present today and guess what it was? A new full size acoustic. Although it isnt the best brand it is surprisingly very good sounding. It is a first act acoustic and i don't have any idea the model number. It definantly beats my first acoustic that was a half-size one that doesn't stay in tune at all and is very badly intonated. It sounds good but cosmetically it could be better the sound hole is kinda rough around it and on the fretboards sides there is paint from the body. All in all i needed a acoustic and this will do just fine. My gram and pap are awesome.

    Congrats! My Grandmother helped my Mom purchase my first electric (a Sears Strat copy), and my Ibanez.

    Grandparents are awesome. This may sound a bit corny and sappy, but tell 'em you love them every chance you get, and go visit them frequently.

    Nah i know what you mean. Me and my grandparents are really close. My pap was basicly a father to me cause i had none and my gram helped raise me and my brothers because my mom was at school(college) and was working two jobs too. I am at there house almost every weekend kinda because of the food and mostly cause they are actually fun grandparents.

    You got that right- I was lucky that my grandmother lived right next to my house when I was growing up. She still lives with my mother, at age 98
    It's always good to tell 'em you love 'em, and it's nice to hear that you feel that way too, Squire. Enjoy that guitar! :
