Hi Kevin

Welcome to the forurm. I started out with a no-name acoustic that was apparently too high-strung (a bit like myself some may say............LOL). Anyway, recently got a Fender and the difference is so amazing................absolutley love it...........have named it Freddie (just like a girl eh?). Anyway..........good luck to you and hope you manage to mix with us cos seems an awful lot of people start posting and dont' come back (you'll see for yerself tho).

Apologies if I'm waffling on but had leftover champagne from my birthday on Sat.

Take care
Tracy
