Mooh,

Ah, too bad - maybe someday... I can hardly believe I own one! But the price was just right for us.

You are right about the gig bag. I'd like a hardshell but probably won't get one soon. It isn't as important for me, since I will mostly be keeping my guitar at home. I don't always paack it away at night either, as I like playing a few minutes before work some mornings so I leave it on a stand.

I attribute a faster start learning guitar this time (than when I took lessons 15 years ago) to 1. having the teacher for my husband (or should I say my husband for a teacher - but he's the same teacher who was just a friend last time.) Did that make since yet? 2. playing along with the 'original' recording on my computer - downloaded mostly from Napster. 3. not being busy raising a family this time!
