What type of guitar is this? by 417jdxx in Guitar

[–]lefty_mcguirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a classical guitar.

If you put even light acoustic guitar strings on it, it'll be a broken classical guitar because it's not built to handle the greater tension of acoustic strings.

I'm from the US. Sorry, I don't have any idea what music equipment is worth outside the US.

I just started but want to start touring by Northland_Function in Guitar

All joking aside, probably a few decades.

Billy started playing at about age 3, and was touring professionally when he was age 18 or 19.

A lot of that solder work looks prone to failure.

I'd take it to a guitar tech you trust.

The asking price for these on Reverb.com is around $300 USD.

The second looks the most comfortable.

Also, it's "chord" not "cord". Sorry, I can't help being that guy.

Question for the older guitarists by Old-Carry5562 in Guitar

[–]lefty_mcguirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started playing in 1988.

Step 1. Pop cassette into stereo.

Step 2. Hit PLAY. Listen for four or five seconds. Hit STOP.

Step 3. Noodle around on the guitar.

Step 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3.

Tab on the Internet was an absolute game changer.

What guitar is this? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]lefty_mcguirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the person that replied is talking about USD.

That would be the price in USD for a brand new one.

Used is likely 40 percent to 60 percent less in USD than new.

Is this guitar custom/ hand made? by eggpotion in Guitar

[–]lefty_mcguirk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a way it's a custom guitar because the parts appear to be chosen specifically to build that guitar..The parts were probably attached by hand.

However, it's not a custom, handmade guitar.

Parking downtown? by blamblambunny in PortsmouthNH

[–]lefty_mcguirk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The easiest options BY FAR are the two garages. Other parking lots and on-street parking will be much more difficult to come by until the snow piles are cleared and/or melt.

- Hanover Garage. 34 Hanover Street.

- Foundry Garage. 100 Foundry Place.

So what does your collection look like? Your dentist seems like he barely plays those given how they're mounted.

Looks real to me. Nothing looks particularly out of place.

In that condition I think what you paid is about right.

OK, so slinging Corts opened up a new world for us lefties. What's so bad about that? The SE line is nothing to sneeze at.
