Ha ha! At least someone listens. :D For all my "sage advice", I make a critical mistake sometimes, and I don't spend enough time really testing a guitar before I buy it. I recently made one of my "diamond in the rough" purchases, and took it back twice to exchange before getting one I was satisfied with. At a pawn shop or private sale, you would be real lucky to return anything.

So you can learn from my mistakes. Go there and try them out. More than once. Turn the tuners (they should be nice and smooth), bend the strings, smell it, shake it, and FEEL it. In the end, it doesn't matter what you pay or what label is on it, it if feels right, then it should be yours.

I wish you the best of luck. I know you've been a bit disappointed with your current model. :(
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
