Thx David. Yeah, you have heard me play more than once.
I will eventually get around to doing a few videos using both guitars for YouTube, and FB.

The 3 string thing sounds interesting Alex, like a cigar-box guitar.

The Alvarez had a first good outing today, and I love it.
The balance across the strings from treble to bass is superb, and where I had to force the treble volume on the old guitar, this one just responds beautifully.
I took it busking outside the local supermarket and 'it' attracted lots of comments, and $58 in an hour and a half. That's a bit of a record for here, so it obviously holds up it's end (and probably a bit of mine).

Trev it is my opinion that a crap guitar in the hands of a good player will sound excellent and I bet if you had a plank nailed to a fruit box with fishing line strings you would hold an audience.
Nevertheless you deserve a great guitar so you should have it.
Thats excellent cash return but as I suggest the guitar played probably a smaller part than you will admit.
The three string is something you pick up play for a day or two and then hang it on the wall.
In my case I have played practised it for years. Getting individual notes on the fly to run a rift or mody is very difficult.. Just getting it to sound right is hard... But it keeps me going..
When I play it at the pub it is well recieved by folk that are drunk and the kidslove it.
I have a nice gibson but its electric a d a pain to set everything up so the three string is real handy thru a little "pig nose" size amp.

Way too easy to collect. I now have 3 :-)
Over the years though, so many that have come and gone.
