This is all fascinating stuff guys, let's keep it coming in. I think I've learnt more about that most versatile of instruments reading through these threads than years spent either down the local music store and/or pub.
Don I sympathise with your not being able to play as well since your accident. I know a couple of guys who through one reason or another are no longer able to play (one of them has taken up the accordian...no comment). When the old Arthur Rightous is particularly bad I have trouble myself.
Roger all I can say is you bought a D28 for $185.. I daren't tell you how much I paid for mine.. lotsa moola... but then eh aren't we worth the guitar of our dreams, whatever it may be?
To close another old saying my grandma told me (as if).. a good guitar is like a good woman.. better if played with everyday (sorry no sexism intended.. delete woman and insert man where required).
