Heh. Well, I've been getting by with a pretty decent old Fender
acoustic, but bass has been my main instrument for performing up
until recently. All I've been doing with the acoustic is writing
songs and jamming. I'm going to start doing more acoustic stuff
now though so I need a guitar that's going to sound good on stage.
It will have to project well strictly as an acoustic, but I'll also
need a good pick-up in it - whether that's built in or an after-
market addition.

Hey, maybe you can get a deal on his four-track when he upgrades?
I'd love to have an 8-track deck, but it's not in the cards just
yet. <sigh> Priorities, priorities... I think the acoustic guitar
has to come first, because I'll be using that to play gigs and make
some money. Then, I can start thinking about what toys I want next.
In the meantime, I'll just have to get by with what I've got. ;-\
