Maybe it's just me--but even at a steal of a price, I couldn't buy an acoustic online. Even within the same exact brand/model they just play differently.
WhiteStrat - I think you hit the nail on the head. You really have to play the silly things to understand what you're getting into.
I wonder how many of these will end up on Ebay over the next few months.
If I recall, you've got a Seagull too, dontcha? I know it would be true with any acoustic, but after I got turned on to the brand, I played 'em for a month. Music Folk in Webster had the most, but I found the gem in a year old (read: pre beat up--just a bit) Artist at McMurray just before they went down for the count.
