Guitars

Post by made to heal »

hey,
i was just wondering if anyone knows anything about the qualities of guitar brands.

thanks tons! 8-)

If you're serious about playing I would suggest saving up and buying a better quality guitar

^ :nod:

but if you like it then get it. It boils down to your own personal taste. I personally never played a Samick instrument before so I really cant judge it.

How long have you been playing by the way?

Yeah, I am going to borrow $400 and go to Guitar Center this weekend. They have Martin acoustic guitars on sale, marked down from $2000. Yeah, I need me one.
