Oh Oh ... more GAS

We have been doing a lot of camping this year, but we only have a car with a cartop carrier, so there is not a lot of room for "extras". I have managed to squeeze my classical guitar (smallest one I own) on a couple of trips, literally crammed between my legs. So, I'm trying to convince my husband that I "need" a travelling guitar. Afterall, he gets to bring his toys (e.g. nintendo, cell phone with web service, etc.) with him, so I need mind. He argues that his doesn't take up any space.

Anyway, our local music store has a Washburn Rover (R010, I think) which seems to have pretty good reviews. Does anyone have one? If so, are you happy with it. We have 2 more camping trilps this summer, so I hope to be a happy owner of this guitar before then.

It was originally $269 CDN and dropped down to $209. The owner said he would sell it to me for $180. Not a bad deal; however I have bought 6 guitars, 2 amps, a violin and many other items in the past 2 years. That may have something to do with the "deal".

Thanks.
Nutty

Looks like you've had a lot of GAS in the past two years.

Well, not that this makes it sound a lot better, but 2 guitars and 1 amp were for my daughter; the rest are MINE

I agree skinnybloke that nintendo and campfires just don't go together. I just can't seem to convince DH. I don't know why, but he can't understand why we need more than 7 guitars in the house. Go figure.

Today may be the day as I'll have to change the strings and get it prepped for camping! Can't sound rough at campfire.

I recommend a vehicle large enough to accommodate full sized guitars.

I agree with the new vehicle too, but unfortunately "vans aren't cool". In fact, he wants a corvette....that won't help me at all.
