A built in tuner would also be useful!

That is something else...how do you pick the 6 string over the soundhole?
Thanks for sharing that with us :D

Tommy
If they're the ones that built my Epiphone Riviera, they build some damned nice guitars for not very much money. I didn't care for most of the Epiphone acoustics I've played but my Riv is a great guitar. I have two friends that bought Epiphones after they played mine. One got a dot 335 style (like mine) & the other is a Las Paul copy. Both are as nice to play as mine. The wood isn't as fancy as a Gibson but the fit & finish is very good, especially for the price.

I have one..(galveston). it is a resonator......sounds and plays pretty good...for what I gave for it. It is plywoodish...so don't have to worry about weather.....neck is not to bad....and the cone doesn't rattle or anything.
about $350......
I forgot I had the damn thing until you asked the question......been all caught-up playing my LX . |

Which LX do you have. I have a Legend. I love it. And, the neck is fine by me, no problem with the roundness.

got the 6778 LX Standard Elite. Kim fixed it great. The action was to high for me....now it's a peach to play...no effort....no buzzing anywhere on the staff.....intonation is excellent. I really like it. |

"The risk is small when compared to other daily activities". That is what our training tells us. I've worked in and around em for 25 years. One of the risks they never told us about - me and my buddy coworkers from the early days all had daughters - only daughters - lots of em.
Survival of the fittest!
I'd have to play with the 7 string. I kind of like it myself. |

Have ever seen the fish that came out of the water next to Mr. Burns' Nuclear Power Plant? It had three eyes (don't know about any daughters) I figuered that third neck came from the same pond. |
