Do you Know where your guitar has been?

Have you ever said or written something like uhm… i don’t know, say, like the heading above, and then thought damn how am I ‘ahem’ I mean how are YOU going to get yourself out of this one?

it’s a classic case of Simply acting rashly – saying or doing something that maybe should of been thought through first…

..just like buying your first guitar!

You see, your first guitar isn’t like any ordinary possession, for most it isn’t like your favorite gadget… it isn’t even like the love you may have for an iphone!

Musicians around the world and strangely more so guitarists, develop “strong bonds” with their instruments and like most romances the first love is often the strongest and most enduring!

So please! Be careful, choose wisely and don’t get your heart broken.

How?

Well, I’m glad you asked, what a sharp person you are!

Over at our parent site I’ve put up an article that will tell you just that.

It’s called..

“7 Things You Should Know Before Buying Your Perfect Guitar!

although i was going to  call it..

“7 questions you should ask your guitar before you take it home to meet the parents”

but that would have just been silly.

You can find the article HERE!
