It was only $345 and includes a setup in the next 3 months and a warranty.

I played it a bit tonight (I tried left but switched to upside down) and OMG, that thing is amazing. It plays very nicely. She loves it.

On another front, I took my son to guitar lessons last night as my daughter was too tired after 3 days of ski race training. He brought my (now his) Strat. He loved it and is going to start doing lessons now too.

This is basically what she got, except hers is a lefty version…



At guitar tonight, our instructor was so excited when Grace pulled it out of her case. She plays an old Chet Atkins Gretsch and absolutely loved Grace’s new one. God, it’s got such a great sound and needs nothing except to be played… more.
