I bought a guitar today...

Now, here is the story.

I stopped at a garage sale on Sunday. Outside was a guitar on a stand with a
case as well. I have always wanted to learn to play guitar. I am 36 years old
and feel like I may be running out of time.

So I ask the lady how much..."Seventy five" she replies. I look at her like...Ouch!
That seems a bit steep. She says her girlfriend says it was pretty expensive in
the day. Still... seventy five bucks.

So I leave, go home, change the oil in 2 vehicles and rotate the tires on my
truck. (The wheels on that thing come almost to my waist...sheesh)

I remember the name on the guitar. It was Larrivee. I am no guitar expert
so I decided to see what I might be able to get one on eBay for. Heh...check
for yourselves.

Oh yeah, obviously I went back and bought it. 8)

wow! what a find!
I like the pic minus the dark shaddow at the bottom.
I would normally say go B&W but the color of that guitar is just so purdy

I dunno, I like the shadows...good shot of a good find

Have fun learning...the guitar's a fantastic thing to get into...well, music in general, but guitar's probably the most accessible instrument

Thanks!

I set it down on the couch to run out and get the mail. When I came back
inside, I saw it sitting there in the sun with the shadows and all and thought...
crap, where is my camera?! Arrgh... I bet that shadow moved 2 inches in the
amount of time it took me to get my camera out and get it set right. Heh.

I don't guess anyone took a look at the eBay link huh?

Best garage sale buy I have ever gotten. I have come close... but this takes the cake.

Here is the link to the manufacturers site. www.larrivee.com

I had a look at the ebay link, seems you did good!!! Now to learn how to play. My significant other got me an electric for christmass two years ago. I din't know how to play either so I took some evening classes at a local guitar shop. It felt a little wierd being 50 in a room full of 14 to 18 year olds wanting to learn metal. It was fun though.

Enjoy.

Whoa back up! Garage Sale? In February? Wow I gotta move to Texas.

Heh, we do garage sales year round down here. I think it is going to be in the
70's for the rest of the week and into the weekend.

Yeah, it is pretty much one of those jewel in the trash kind of finds. I have
decided I am not going to sell it. I am going to learn how to play the guitar on
a $1,000.00 guitar.
