I was talking to my neighbor today and I was telling her I'm going back to college and studying music. She tells me her daughter was given a guitar that she is never going to play and asks me if I want it. I said sure. I'm thinking I could fix it up and give it to a not so fortunate youngster who wants to learn guitar.
WELL, she brings out a Classical Nylon String Guitar that has no strings on it and the saddle is missing. I take it in the house and this evening I finally got the time to sit down and look at it more closely. What I discovered made me decide to fix it up and keep it myself.

Here is a page I found on the Guitar: http://harmony.demont.net/model.php?id=884

It looks awesome! I'll put up some pics of it as I got it. Then I'll post pics after I get her done.

Best wishes in gettin' it up and playable again, Chet. Those nylon classicals are cool for just pickin' up and noodlin' on.

Thanks! That's what I was thinking. They sound pretty cool when finger picking.
