  • It dont need to cost a hole lot of money all the time most often the fast and cheap things give the most fun!

  • In my world, it's hard to find a 5$ guitar. 25$ is the going rate for a wall hanger. I can get a small milk shake for 3$ AGP...
  • "Cool Buy Dave", ya don't get much for 3 bucks these days !!!

  • Thanks James, Jim, Uncle. I didn't have the right strings today, so no plunking. But tomorrow for sure. Strawberries are ripe! Yummy! I played a little with the old strings but they are the wrong sizes.
