I have a few guitars now but only one expensive (way expensive for me anyways) guitar. Its funny though I always pick up my cheap acoustic. I don't know, it sounds good and feels good and is fun to play. I hope it lasts awhile longer then I will probably go ahead and look for one of a higher quality. The thing has actually bounced off a concrete floor (lol) and it didn't affect it other than a little ding. I am definetly rough with it so that could be another reason I pick it up so often. Also it was my first one so who knows?
