LASTLY,
was nearly brought to tears when my cousin presented me this weekend with my pawpaws old acoustic fender guitar, it was a "cheap" fender but i don't care, his hands held it, and my son will one day get it. he literally just said "hey you want it" it clearly meant more to me than him. i'll post a couple pics just for fun... you guys have a good week and thanks for the advice!!!
If the sound of the fender is ok and the beast itself is not warped or twisted ,do yourself a favour and get some good quality strings on it..It will get a new life.
Personally I LOVE..... did I say LOVE ?......... Elixir Nanoweb Acoustic phosphor bronze strings. I buy several packs at a time.
They last , dont get fillled with gunk and hold their tone and tuning.
Marc may not like them cos they dont make them out of 8 guage fencing wire but for my moderate playing style they are purrr fect
