Like the second photograph, effectively done against dark tree. Glad the story eventually had a happy ending.

As some of you may remember, I was recently bitten by the guitar bug, so I went out and got a Lâg Tramontane T66D, which struck me as a hell of a guitar for the money. And I loved it. Fast-forward two weeks, and . . . well: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/10192635745/ Seems in my haste to get out the door at the end of my shift the other night, I slung my gig bag over my shoulder without bothering to zip it first. I was fairly heartbroken -- the closest I'd come to tears in years. So, in order to help mend the heartbreak, I started trawling around the local classifieds and Craigslist. And, as luck would have it, I happened upon what seemed like a great deal: a Jasmine S35 (Takamine's budget line) with a brand new set of unopened D'Addario strings, a Snark digital tuner, a Kyser cap, a Stage guitar stand -- all for the whopping total of $50. I'd owned a Jasmine years ago and really liked it, but had to give it to my uncle after a friend of mine tripped over and stepped on the one he'd loaned me at a party. This one, however, I like even more as it has a satin/natural finish: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/10192719793/ So, my heart has mended quite a bit. I love the way it sounds, and after a good setup from the guitar shop, I think I'm going to really love the way it plays. The action is a bit high, but the tone is really nice. As I see it, I got a good deal on some accessories I already wanted, and a damn nice guitar thrown in for free. Tough to beat that, huh? As for my Lâg, I put some Gorilla Glue in the break and clamped it down for a bit. It still plays like new, and even still very good sustain. The repair job wasn't the tidiest, but the fact of the matter is, it's a $200 guitar with a broken headstock. It's not like I was going to be able to get good money out of it, irrespective of the aesthetics of the repair job. -- Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
