    I second this. In fact I am more than willing to sacrifice the space and take it off your hands.

        Live with it, or try to sell it at a profit and wait for a better one to come along. Something is always on the horizon.

        When you've had budget guitars for a number of years, you may find that your old instrument is holding you back. A quality guitar can inspire you to write great songs, improve your understanding of the Gdim chord while in the Lydian Mode, cure the heartbreak of cystic acne--and help you find true love in the process.

          My 9-year-old daughter just walked in the room when I was playing this, pointed at the ding and said, "There's something on that."
          First time ANYONE has ever pointed out a ding on any of my guitars.

            Something to keep in mind: some people pay big bucks to buy "reliced" instruments. Doesn't make sense to me when one can age one's own instruments naturally. I suppose it's like spending big bucks to buy a pair of jeans that look like they've been worn for 30 years.
