A few weeks back I asked about acoustic guitars for my son. I found one right before he went off to school a couple weeks ago. It’s a Maestro by Gibson. It was on clearance for 60 dollars. Came with a soft case, extra strings and picks and some instructional dvds. It seems to be a decent guitar, it stays in tune and sounds good. Not one to keep it simple, lol, the kid is learning Dream Theater songs on it.

I’m kinda glad I didn’t spend more at the time, last weekend the Honda (husband’s vehicle) died at almost 200K miles. So, a new(ish) vehicle was bought which means a second car payment (mine is almost paid off) for awhile. I had my eye on a Dean guitar but it was 400 dollars and I hesitated. Glad I did now.

And boy, do I miss the kid. The house is ungodly quiet, it kinda sucks.
