Freshman Maple Ridge Acoustic
Hi everyone
New here so hope I do this ok
Very new to the guitar - still just about playing a couple of chords.
I have been looking around for a while for an acoustic guitar. My local shop recommended the following guitar A freshman FA1AM - (I was going to put a link to their website - but I cant as I am a new member.)
I liked it a lot - quite small and light - but fealt very easy to play. Has anyone used one of these before? Any reviews?
Thanks for your help

Couldn't find any reviews on that particular model, but the other Freshmans models got good reviews.

Welcome bmp. I love the look of the Freshman FA1AM, nice pistol to get started on. in fact a nice guitar period. Cool 
Now when I talk to God he said he'd understand, Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand. But don't ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer you want me to.
