Thanks for your suggestions. Imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 Play the guitar. Does it talk to you? If so, take it home. I believe the model is DeArmond's answer to a Guild Bluesbird, isn't it? DeArmond is to Guild what Epiphone is to Gibson kinda. Regardless of what some people say, I'd play one if it felt good and sounded good.

Imagine Posted October 14, 2001 Author Share Posted October 14, 2001 Thanks for the info Tedster. With the information I provided above, is it a well built guitar and are the pick-ups decent? I don't know much about guitars, (I'm a keyboardist, but I do play guitar) and the sales people at the store aren't any good at knowing anything at all. It does sound pretty good though... Thanks Imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 AHA! You've hit upon your own answer..."I'm a keyboardist and don't know much about guitars"... Okay...I'm a guitar player and don't know much about keyboards. But, If I were going to buy one, I'd take a keyboard player along with me. Someone who could explain the pros and cons...play the thing, see if it something they'd be happy with. Take your guitar player to the store with you. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif That oughta work...
