Congrats @p90fool That looks fun.

Message here is finding a stunner no longer equates to price in 2023. We have such a choice of instruments and manufacturers that it is an achievable aim, with research and shopping around, to find great guitars downmarket.

I see the acoustic black version is on sale for £140...

Purdy!  I hope it’s still fun a month or so in.

I picked up a used Jim Dandy once but it felt almost 'plastic' like rather than wood. I wasn't impressed at all.

Lovely! I missed this first time around. 

Though i take umbrage at @Berties "boo dreadnoughts" sentiment, I do love a little mahogany parlor almost as much

Really like the look of that! Nice one.

Who asked?

Its a forum with an exchange of views,both positive and negative,on a variety of guitar related subjects. My experience is as valid as others and their positive ones. It helps with balance as we all have different styles and tendencies when it comes to choosing,buying and playing our instruments.

Well I'm the OP and the Jim Dandy was on my shortlist before I bought this one, so I find it interesting to discuss similar guitars. 

Not just interesting in fact, it's essential to me as my location means I buy everything online and rely a lot on the opinions of long standing members here.


Anyway, thanks @guitarjack66 it sounds like I dodged a bullet.
