Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

Lots of good and cheap Yamahas at Guitar Center.

Absolutely. My first guitar was a Yamaha GC-7, which was a very long time ago. You can get a cheap Yamaha Strat copy (Pacifica) for not a whole lot of money.

Yeah, some of them play better, or as well, as some of the more expensive ones.

My brother had an expensive Martin with terrible action lol I dunno if he just never fixed it or what. Martin's just boom too much, drowns out my voice.

My kids have those expensive guitars, what are they, can't even think of the name right now.

A Martin, kinda 'cause of the design they use - which is awesome and I love them, will often need a very costly operation every 15 to 20 years. You gotta take 'em apart, shim and sand, and do a neck reset. If's a couple hundred bucks, or less if tossed in with other work like a fret job and leveling. Other than that, you can do a setup and lower the action by taking down the nut and saddle. They tend to come high from the factory - mostly for marketing reasons. They don't want you to have a fret buzz when you pick one up to try it in the store.
