do ewe know any good webshites with guitar reviews?

I'm looking for a decent cheap acoustic for my grandad, like.
He's nevar played before so I'm trying to find an entry level one that's good but costs as little as possible.

He said he'd had a look in a shawp and the bloke recommended some pish name one costing about 50 squid:pinch:

He's left handed too, like, but he's not sure if he'd play lefty or not.
If he does, I've told him I'm going to make him buy an orsum guitar instead so I can have it when he dies:smilie4:

Good thinking. Isn't there a guitar guitar in Newcastle

http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/

They usually have good deals

One way to do it is go in and tall them to bring you decent guitars at a certain price range, then try a few.

http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk is another good one, they've got a lefty section as well but i cant get in just now.

That's the three I tend to look at, the Guitar Guitar shop in Glasgow is ace. Well worth a visit and a play of them if you can get to the one in New castle I would think.

I know you wanted reviews, what I thought was you could have a look, see if there's anything you fancy at a decent price then get a review for it.

I've found a fender cd60 for £60 on soundslive (£75 on GAK), according to interweb reviews it's rather good.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

Believe it or not that's the one I was looking at when I was checking those sites earlier. True Story

I'm kind of tempted myself.

I might go to the shawp and have a play with one (with my upside down guitar skillz). It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just something that's nice to play/learn with, like.

You're not going to get anything better for that price I shouldn't think, Bo.

I'd see if they had a lighter finish. That's just a bit dark for my taste.

I would go for either of those, they look much better in my view.

Proper Bo

I'd probably go with natural, naturalment.

You said you weren't going to bother with the Virgin thing as you just stole everything you wanted to see or watched it on the internets.

Proper Bo
11-13-2008, 12:07 AM
I said I wasn't that bothered, like, I've still got the tellybox tho' cause it comes free with the interweb. I'd just like to have sky1 for when I'm bored and someone's watching something else on sky downstairs.

Playability and sound but, I'd like your opinion.

If not, i'll have to wait until after xmas to get at it.
