Take a look on Reverb or eBay to see what sort of prices they are going for. Beware that on eBay, the asking price isn't always what they will sell for.

No idea.

Welcome Paul!

Welcome Dave of the Screaming variety

What about selling it and buying a nice gift for the donor, or explain to him that you aren't getting on with it and ask if he would mind you selling it. You could offer him all or some of the money minus any expenses.

What do you mean by master them? Are you finger picking?

Welcome!

It's hard for us to say how well you are doing without hearing you play. You might know all those chords but struggle to put them together. How do you feel you are doing? Do you play along with songs or backing tracks? Have you considered playing with other people?

Happy playing!

Have you tried eBay or Reverb?

I thought you were going to play "Fake Plastic Trees" at the start. Who would have guessed that Radiohead could sound like Eric Clapton?

They look great. (What would KDH say, though? )

Welcome!

Welcome, Oscar.

To quote Faith No More, "What is it?"

I just use Jim Dunlop lemon oil on my fretboards. They darken naturally over time, anyway.

What about the Mooer Triangle Buff? It's roughly in your price range new and within it used. If you are looking for a bluesy overdrive, i can recommend the Mooer Blues Crab. it's a great wee pedal.

I saw this in the other place It's a lovely looking guitar. How does it play and sound?

Good to have you back Shawn and I'm glad to see you are sticking with it!

I have the TE-62 and it was the same. The actin could maybe be a little lower, but it's perfectly playable as is. Some of the fret ends are a tiny bit sharp, but they don't affect the playability and I've felt worse.

I have a couple of Harley Bentons and the quality on both is decent. In fact, one of them cost me £138 but the quality is on a par with instruments I've seen at two or three times the price. The one she has chosen will be great for her to start out on. You might need to take it to a guitar technician to get the setup just right on it, but you can wait until it comes to find that out.

What about the Laney Cub Super 12? It's 15W but can be dropped to 1W and has a series effects loop

There are other bodies offering grades too. Rockschool Trinity College London I've considered doing the grades, but keep asking myself why - would I be trying to prove something to myself or someone else.

A beauty!

Looks great! Enjoy.
