uncle fester Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Not sure ignorance is bliss, but it sure is a whole lot less expensive. I started out not knowing much about nice guitars beyond i need a cutaway - i'd like something nice, and had about $3k to spend. I found a h-bird pro at GC for $2200, was happy and should of just bought it and stopped there - but i had to do research. Now i'm at needing 2 guitars, and trips to Nashville and Austin to find one of them... thinking anywhere from $5 - $8k will get me there. Current wish list: *Cutway - hbird pro, or songwriter... for function (very nice function) *non cutaway - J45, or Hummingbird... for function and knowledge i've got a classic So - Only started looking for a cutaway - Never expected to want to trade in my current dread... probably should have stopped with the H bird pro i tried at GC and never done any looking. But i did, the knowledge is here, can't unring that bell - so i guess the task i've been dealt is to find the two above. man it's tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
