Acoustic guitar option paralysis - NGD Incoming

Funny you should say that, the guild I have on loan at the minute is actually really great. Super comfortable and sounds lovely. It's not for sale unfortunately and probably outside my budget even if it was.



I was making cinnamon rolls. It's a wonderful recipe but a serious investment of time. They didn't rise properly AND I managed to burn them! On top of that the cornbread I made with Chili for dinner was seriously lacklustre.



Yeah I think so but if I'm being honest with myself I'm almost certain it's going back. Even with new strings I don't think it will sound good enough to justify the amount I spent. Actually scratch that. The price I paid is irrelevant, I just don't think it sounds good enough. Period.

Oh man! That's tough. Especially when you want to impress.



I cooked all last weekend for the Holidays. 11 people. I volunteered
as Kitchen Bitch. I was exhausted and could have slept for 3 days after.
It's stressful! "Did I make enough?" "Will it turn out?" "If it turns out well, then,
will everyone like it?"



I know they all love you, SO! That won't change.

If you don't instantly love it it is not "the one," is it?

I don't "grow" into loving gear and guitars anymore.

Absolutely. I had it out there for another go and it sounds decent but it's just not for me. They're closed tomorrow so I'll contact them on Friday to start a return. First time I've bought an acoustic sight unseen and it'll probably be the last.
