New Guitar

Last weekend my mom bought me a new guitar, for my birthday (a few months late), but still it was still nice of her.

It is an Olympia guitar, black, solid face, electric acoustic guitar. The sound I get out of it is much better than my Samick acoustic. My parents bought me the Samick for my 16th birthday, and I never played it until after I graduated high school. It has been a good guitar, makin the round to many fireside parties, and other gatherings. It still works, but the nuts are weird and it makes it hard to play anything above the 10th fret without it sounding very bad. My new guitar has a cutaway so you can play the higher frets with ease, which makes it cool. Also, being that it is an electric-acoustic, makes it even better. I really have never played an electric acoustic and I would have to say it adds a lot to playability.

We picked up the guitar at Chuck Rupar music in Hibbing when I was up for the weekend. He is a friend of my parents and his bad Nightshade played at their wedding back in 78. Anyways, he was cool and explained things to me about all the guitars, gave my a gig bag and some strings so I would be set to go. I searched the web, and he has a website, but not much content. I will give him to linkage anyways.

Needless to say, the new guitar rocks, and I still have the old guitar to play at parties and the like. Hopefully one day soon I will hook up the new guitar to my computer and record some songs.
