Hello everybody from NW Missouri
« on: June 11, 2015, 07:59:06 PM »
Hi everybody. New guy here from St Joseph, MO.

I've played just about my whole life, starting at age 8. So that's 44 years now. I've owned just about everything over the years. I really enjoyed the Taylor 214 I had, but now I'm the happy new owner of a 110e. I just can't believe what a great value it is. It seriously does compare favorably to the Gallagher I had several years ago.

But sometimes people fall on hard times, and it happened to me (lost job due to health issues). I can't afford to spend a lot on guitars these days, so I was elated when I found a guitar that sounds as good as the 110 at a price I could afford.

I'm feeling pretty good these days, and I'm looking forward to getting out and doing some solo work.

Cheers!
Brent

Maybe you can give me some tips on the acoustic scene around town!

Thanks everybody for the kind words.
