:D

I agree with aschleman. He is right on. Maybe I should have reworded my post. I think what I was trying to say is that here in my part of the world Salesman sell young guitar players a bill of goods on guitars that are not made for heavy use.

Here in the San Antonio Area our great guitar shops with knowledgable people have just about all closed up. Hermes is gone, Texas Music is gone. Sam Ash has taken over. They sell some realy great guitars but they also sell some really really cheapos.

It really breaks my heart to have a young person come to me with guitar problems that cannot be fixed because the guitar was never mean for what they wanted to do and salesmen over stated what it would do. And it really makes their parents mad. Cheap guitars just cannot take the Texas heat and that is where the problems really come from.

Thanks for explaining it to us aschleman. I will attempt to do better in the future. If I could only type.
