Comparisons

    We stopped by the Eugene Guitar Center and checked out guitars for fun.  Kathy found the full size dreadnought rather large but liked the 1/2 size.  I have to say I found the 1/2 size quite comfortable as well.  Much easier to maneuver around and I can see its advantages for a small space like ours.  I do like the sound of the dreadnought, but we will only have room for, and be able to afford, one.

    I played with the chords on some guitars  in the store that I have been working on using my phone, and as I suspected, the 3-D fret is MUCH different than a 2-D fret on a glass phone surface.  Go, figure.  I will need much practice on real 3-D strings.

    I plan to repair a separated bridge support piece inside my uncle's guitar(see damage below) and get it a new set of strings for it so we will have a practice unit as we continue to think about the hobby and what size instrument to procure.
