    Antique Sunburst!!

    Nice!!

    For me it was between that and the "Sunrise" one, I went with the Sunrise because it seemed more me :)

    They're beautiful guitars though and they play great!

    Was it a hard shell case that you got??

    Good stuff!!

    They're by far the best guitars around for that price, and I even played some more expensive ones and liked this better :)

    Good luck with it. :D

    Fantastic guitars! I was looking at an Ovation and one of those. I still wasn't sold on the A&L. Then the sales guy pulled a black one out of the box. My dad says he's never seen my face light up like that. (Other than Pearl Jam shows)
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Nice!!!!!! Sounds like a GREAT guitar. Those sound awesome. It is great motivation to learn to play when you have a great guitar!

    Congrats on your purchase! :)

    Get used to that! I found for the first couple of weeks my finger tips were basically useless.

    If it really hurts, stop. You don't want to injure yourself. I found when I was first starting out, about 30 minutes a night was the most I could do before it really started to hurt. Once you build up the calluses, the pain lessens and it becomes easier to fret the strings.

    Yeah....it's going to take some time, but I'll get it!

    Thanks!

    I'd also suggest trying to find a good teacher in your area. I'd be lost without mine, and he's reasonably priced. $20 for half an hour.

    I really love those guitars :)
