WTB acoustic

dchwhite

It's my daughter's 14th birthday in a couple of weeks, and we're pondering a new guitar for her. She's been playing my old art and lutherie (cedar top, electro cutaway,  dread - I think) but the action's a bit Robin Hood and the truss rod seems to have maxed out.

So - I'd like something more easily playable, and hopefully something that's a bit of a step up too. I don't really know very much about acoustics, so I'm not sure how much we might need to spend to get something better. I have various pedals, partscaster bits and music books to offer in px if of interest. I know we could go to one of the music shops, but I thought we might do better for the money s/h, & we both find visits to guitar shops only slightly more fun than dentist appointments.

So - with apologies this is all a bit vague, if you have something to offer, please do shout. Equally, if you have some advice, I'm all ears too

Hi. See my ad for the Gibson J15. I am open to offers etc.

Hey, I've got something that might fit the bill here: https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/95358/cimar-660-bs

It's a great beginner to mid-level guitar.

I'm based in Cambridge, too, if you want to come by and try it out.

Thanks both. Andyman, thanks but it's not quite what I'm looking for. Sijos1, it looks great but is probably above what I have available (unless you have an unlikely interest in a px for a fat bike).

If it interests anyone, things that could probably be px makeweights include a Jet City 20 head, a VHT 112 cab, Rat Deucetone, Blackstar HT-Dist and HT- Metal, a Tech21 wah - oh, and a Yamaha apxt travel guitar. There's more stuff that could probably go too.

Thanks for the offers, but we're hopefully sorted now.
