Wow. I think my best bet is to buy a guitar in Oregon itself. If I mail one from here, it would cost around $50 USA- for a couple of hundred I can probably buy one there that is good enough for my needs: a couple of weeks once a year. I just remembered it used to be fun to scour pawn shops- bet I can find one there! If not, there's a music shop in Salem that probably has used ones for sale. Thanks, y'all.
