I am fighting it, and getting slightly stronger. Slightly.

A grown up is someone who is older than me. Worryingly, I am now older than people who I considered to be grown ups back in the day. It is TOTALLY a mini Lowden. Virtually indistinguishable. Perhaps.

My daughter has decided that she needs a bigger guitar. She has been using this one for nigh on 8 years and it has done sterling service. We did not buy it new, so I am not entirely sure of specs, but the internet is strongly suggesting the following - and I have no reason not to believe it Solid Engelmann Spruce Top Solid Rosewood Back Solid Flamed Maple Binding 5mm Abalone with Fibre Border Rosette Mahogany Neck Grover Rotomatic Gold Machineheads 2 Way Truss Rod Shadow Performer Tuner Preamp / Shadow Nanoflex Pickup Hardcase Included. The present model goes for a grand-ish. But it has a little cutaway for the widdlers in our midst. OK, ok, for the people who like different chord voicings. It is a lovely guitar, but she is not about to start a guitar collection (who would do such a thing?). So it is one in, one out. Especially as I will be fully involved in augmenting the purchase price of the next one. I think the asking price is fair and I will not be motivated to bring it down. There are one or two dings photgraphed with flash for clarity. They are not that obvious away from the flash. These are reflected in my valuation. Any cheaper and I will keep it myself. To add to my collection. Don't judge me. Let us split insured shipping costs like grown ups.

Mutter...mutter.... 5 string... mutter.

Ooooh! Oooooh! I love a good case. And if I could think of anything I have that would go into this....... Sadly, I am fully cased up.

I picked one of these up once. I actually laughed out loud it was so light. And it seriously delivered.
