    Never have used a tv in the last 10 years either.
    And the polish really takes stress away, and downtime aside making your rig look great.

    that's right gets the blood flowin, meet new people get some fresh air rather than sitting on your butt playing an idiot box (video games etc). Because don't ya know you gotta look cool on the stool while strollin down the road.

    It's just awkward in a truck, IMO.

    Body is small, so you're not really supporting it with your leg like you'd do with something normal sized. Really uses the strap for that support, which meant I had to be in a very specific sitting position to use it. Could only play sitting on the very edge of the bed and it didn't really work well trying to play sitting any other way.

    Other than that, it was a really well made guitar and fit in the truck very well. Just couldn't get comfortable using it the way I wanted to.

    I'd suggest making sure to spend a lot of time playing with one, in all sorts of positions, before you decide. If I were to do it again, I'd just grab a cheap acoustic off of Craigslist and not worry if it gets beat up a little.
     
    Wild Murphy Thanks this.
