| 3041.1 | how much do you want to spend? | BIGQ::DCLARK | son of Sam-I-Am | Fri Feb 17 1995 09:50 | 7 |
| If you don't want to spend a ton of money, look in the Want
Advertiser. You can pick up a decent used acoustic for $100-150.
If you know somebody who plays they can help you with what
to look out for. MacDuff's in Shrewsbury usually has a lot of
used stuff (some of it is junk!).

| 3041.2 | More info... | ASDG::FAY | | Fri Feb 17 1995 10:13 | 11 |
| Well I really want to spend between $100-150. Closer to $100..
I stopped in MacDuff's the other nite and they didn't have very much.
They said they were getting in some guitars next Wed. I can't recall
the brand name of them, but I believe it began with a V, and they said
the price was around $129. I am mainly looking to but from a store, so
I can put it on a credit card, (waiting for tax return). I also stopped
in Daddy's just up the street...I hung around for ~10 min. and couldn't
get anyone to help me so I won't be going back there. I plan on hitting
the yellow pages and looking in Worcester tonite, I am just wary of
some of the stores based on the notes I have read in here,
unfortunately most of the notes are over 5 yrs. old...

| 3041.4 | Good stuff cheap | SUBPAC::CHANIS | | Fri Feb 17 1995 14:48 | 5 |
| Gordon's Music on Main St. in Worcester has a fair selection of low-end
to midrange priced acoustic guitars.... quite a few Washburns that I've
tried were of good quality for ~$150, but all prices are negotiable.
Good Luck, Jim

| Samick makes a decent acoustic for the money. Don't know if they're
exactly in your range, but you might keep an eye out for them. (Actually,
they make decent "everything" for the money, from what I've seen.)

| 3041.6 | Finally... | ASDG::FAY | | Mon Feb 20 1995 12:17 | 23 |
| Well I'm sure everyone is curious as to what I bought. I had some
really good suggestions...I began here in Hudson at B...(er something)
They had 1 gutiar for $150, said it was new but it looked like a demo
scratches and scuffs all over it. I then headed in to Worcester.
Kurlan's had a good selection and the staff was extremely helpful and
actually gave me a lot of good info. They had a Samick for $129 it was
nice but I was just begining my search so I kept going. I then went to
Union Music, which had a real good selection and a very generous price
guarantee. I saw an Oscar Schmidt there that I liked, again for $129
(the lowest price guitars were $129 everywhere!) I the went to Gordons
and then E.U. Wurlitizers pretty much the same thing as the rest. I
wound up going back to Union Music and got the Oscar Schmidt, with the
store price policy and the fact that the Oscar Schmidt came with a 5yr.
warranty, I decided to get it there. None of the stores I went to had
any lower priced used guitars, and they wouldn't budge on the price for
the $129 guitars. However, so far I am pleased with it and I have been
making excellent progress learning to play. If anyone has any feedback
on my choice I would like to hear it pro or con...
P.S. I don't know if this is a good "deal" but Union had Washburn
D-25's on sale for $195 'till the end of the month...
