Do any of you know anything about this thing? I'm sure somebody has seen it on TV.

    'now, we're going to play a little 'greensleeves', then a classic rock 'n' roller, 'house of the rising sun'.'

    Well, ok then..you little snobs (just joking)

    A friend of mine has your very attitude. But anyway. What I was asking about was the guitar. Is it really worth $1000 (and being sold on HSN for $230)? Will the neck really not ever warp? I probably already know the answer, but I thought it's worth asking about..

    i was joking too.......considering the guitar has no name brand i'd say it is the cheapest guitar possible, which would be worth about $150..........and the neck will eventually warp

    he was in a terrible accident, and then all of a sudden he could play again on this guitar!

    seriously though, i watch that infomercial everytime i see that it's on. I love how he says you can fingerpick like a pro after only weeks of lessons.

    good stuff.

    Esteban is SO cool that nobody had EVER heard of him BEFORE those infomercials. I'm tellin' ya, I liked him better when he was underground. Now he's such a sellout.
