So...my acoustic GASsinng continues. But, today I rediscovered this little guy. This is a nylon-strung Yamaha G-230 guitar that I've had since around 1988 - give or take a year.
Anyway, I had largely ignored this little guitar. But, today I pulled it out of it's case, put new strings on it, and rediscovered how much fun it is!
Now, to be honest, this is not a really high-quality guitar, as classical guitars go. It has a laminate top, versus a solid spruce or cedar top. It is a well-built instrument, but really only qualifies as as a good student guitar. I paid $90.00 for it in a pawn shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Truly professional-quality classical guitars can run in the thousands of dollars.
Nevertheless, I love the simplicity of this little guitar. All-acoustic and no electronics, at all. It actually doesn't sound half-bad, either!
I wasn't able to take my trademark outdoors pic, as it is raining, right now...so the bedroom will have to do!
Here's a full shot of the front:
Here's a closer shot of the body:
Finally, the bridge. No ball-end strings, here. You tie those bad-boys on!
