Picked up a beater today just for grins. Playing it at the shop, I was very impressed with this guitar for the cost.

Pics to follow after I restring it and set it up.

That's just the way it happens sometimes, fate fills our sales and steer our ships into the friendly ports.

For a sec there I thought you were gonna say you traded in the Godin.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

I'm gonna keep it. I found something else to fill the gap. Pics as soon as I process them.

I'm back. It took me awhile to set the new beater up, but I am extremely happy with it.

As usual with any new guitar, I had to change the strings, adjust the truss rod, adjust the bridge, intonation and check every screw after ripping that protective plastic junk off and I don't know way they put that stuff on under all the threaded fasteners.

I intentionally didn't show the brand of my new guitar, or offer what it cost just for grins.

Edit: It's an Alder body, Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard.

Guess.

SX?

Nice......We just won't ask what brand.....Keep it Hush..Hush...

Am I imagining or does it look like there is ample space to inset a 22nd fret on that neck...
That seems like a lot of space past the 21st.....

I feel like the shop made a mistake or I stole this guitar. It feels, plays and sounds as well as some MiA Strats that I have owned. I'm liking this guitar very much, and I am hard to please.

It's a Jay Turser and the OTD price was $119.
