Subj : new guitar To : All From : jimmy anderson Date : Wed May 21 2025 00:09:18 In March we were in Memphis for a Tigers game and we went by Guitar Center looking for a new acoustic bass for my wife. She didn't find one she liked, but loved a solid body electric Gretsch model. Lighter - shorter scale - easier on her (aging) body. :-) Bought an amp too - so she can use the amp as a stage monitor. It's also 50 watt, but still VERY very light. Bonus. The amp, when opened, had a 'tear' in the vinyl top, so we called them and they said next time we're in Memphis to bring it back and swap it. Fast forward about 4 or 5 weeks. Bartlett was having a ham radio freefest, and I wanted to go, so we took the amp back to swap. We decided to walk around and look while we were there. I was playing around on some of the acoustics in the 'acoustics room' when she said, "this is what you need." She brought over a beautiful (to me) Ibanez 12 string acoustic electric. Smaller than a drednaught; thinner too. Now I have played some 12 strings over the years, but never played one that I would have wanted to play AS MY OWN... Until this one. :-) So, $450 later, I had the guitar and a nice hard shell case to go with it. :-) Swapped out my Takamine at church for that one and honestly have played nothing else since then... LOVE IT! :-) ....
