shit my parrot does sharpen his beak on dem strings

cool. I like that guitar. I know someone who has one.

My last purchase was a martin '58 D28. I was given a Breedlove solo recently by my wife's aunt.  My wife thinks i have too many. Told her they are retirement investment and still she roll her eyes...women!!!!

Certainly, they are investments as long as they are kept in good condition. Look yeh, you tell your wife a man could never have enough guitars...I'll even throw bicycles into the mix.

This week I'll be checking out some 12 strings, my Ibanez is beginning to show its age and it's time I gave it some rest.

Guitars, even the ones made by poor crafts men, hold their value. I focus on the classic guitars that has beautiful tones and are also pretty to look at. For that reason I have more acoustic guitars ( of these more classical) than others. 

I give up on lots of bikes. I still have my old santa cruz blur from 10 years ago but I change every year because the technology has advanced incredibly. My blur weighs in at a chunky 38 lbs ( with extensive mods) and current bikes, Trek Remedy, weighs 17 and 20 lbs respectively. I love my blur and feels completely safe on it but on my new bikes I am not only safe but they are responsive and comfortable.

Exactly like my new women dem

Dat dam parrot would be the main course if it pull dat shyte on iman guitar, watch out yeh.

Did you get that goth guitar?

Bought my nephew a guitar for Christmas.  Need to find him a class. LOL, he popped two strings trying to "tune" it. SMH

I have one Ibanez that was made in 1980 still in great shape

there are lots of tuner apps for free. Some even have backing tracks plus scales exercise for chord over scales or soloing practice. If he has a smart phone he can find one plus resources to the teach him to play.

60 to 77 Ibadan are Clones of US best selling brands ( strats, Gibson,  and Rickenbacker ). The 80's series saw the introduction of their own designs. I like any of the clones since they are often better than the original and the '80s because of the same reason; they are very good.  I have one Ibanes that I bought for $50 at a yard sale. It is a stratocaster copy.

You most likely have a guitar that is worth close to a grand if it is not beat up or otherwise damaged.

It is in great shape i will try to post a picture of it.

Model and headstock number would be better to identify it.

Try here to help identify Ibanez guitars

If you buy a tuner make sure it one that he can attach to the headstock and that it has lights tone names or actual frequency display indicating the direction to turn to get the desired tuning pitch.

There are too many resources on the internet and especially youtube to teach him to play. Do not bother with a book unless he needs formal theory to fix what he already explored elsewhere.

No, but now that you've reminded me. hehe

I am going to check some 12 string guitars sometime later this week.

I like this

Sunil said he wanted one of those. If I get one I would be completely good for nothing else.

I therefore will stick to my Casio WK-1800 which I bought second hand from Craigslist to replace my more than 20 year old Yamaha DX7

Amral should stick to playing the shak shak

And blow blow
