New Acoustic

Giblet

I've been acoustic-less for a while now, and I think it's about time I got back on the horse.

I was thinking about the Taylor Big Baby, perfect for my budget.

Any suggestions.

Try and pick up something all solid wood. In that budget I realise that would be difficult... but if you can stretch it a little you might be able to afford a Simon & Patrick.

or Music Maker

Any specific one you recommend? I can afford around 550-600 euro.

Mail to see if it's in stock. Paypal to pay (or you can put a deposit down and pay later), dunno if shipping would be cheaper for as acoustic? For the guitar I've ordered it was $100 for shipping. Easy Peasy

Edit -> Oh yeah, the tax bit, VAT plus guitar import duty of about 4%. All in all it shouldn't be more than the $ price for the guitar alone for your € total.

Win, win, win.

Giblet

But what about tax ?

Doctor J

Patience Giblet, I was getting to it ^^^^^^

Tell me, when are you becoming a dealer for Chris?

Doctor J

Becoming? I thought I already was

Well, you're not getting commission are you? ARE YOU???!!!???

It wasn't me!

I got a Simon and Patrick from Musicmaker a while ago. It was on sale for 550, down from 600, and I have yet to hear a nicer acoustic in that price range. Solid Spruce top and handmade! Yummy! The solid cedar top has an interesting sound to it too. They still had one of those last time I was in if you feel like checking it out.

Yeah I'll definatly have a look.
