I've always wanted to learn the guitar. It feels "cool". You know, going to the beach and strumming the guitar away.. haha. Anyways, when I was 16, my mum gave me the option to take music classes - drum or guitar. Of course, I took drum classes instead because its so much cooler! I was obsessed with the Corrs at that time and I like Caroline Corr - I think she is just so cool and I want to be like her *blush* Should had taken guitar classes instead!! After more than 10 years of contemplating to go for classes, I finally decided to make it into one of my 2012 new year's Resolution!! Ta Daaaaaa!!!
My new baby- Yamaha C-70 :)
Oh yes, I got a good price for it. The process of buying this guitar is pretty interesting. Haha. As a self proclaimed bargain hunter, buying a guitar and knowing it's a bargain it is pretty impossible to do. First of all, I have no clue whatsoever on this... None... So I have no sources to compare to and furthermore it is an impulse buy. But knowing me, of course I'll still look for a good deal. As far as I am concerned, c70 and c40 is considered as a safe choice, so I decided to stick with it.. but not many shops sells yamaha here for some reasons. C40 is the more basic one and it's supposed to be cheaper than c70 correct? I think I was in more than 5 shops.. To check the guitars out- asking and comparing. Tedious job because I was so confused- too many guitar models and different prices. The last shop, is a yahama shop. So I asked them for the price. C40 they selling for aed380 and c70 about aed 500. And I told the guy, alright then I'll get c40 because it's cheaper! Then after that I remembered the first shop I went to was selling about aed395 but I'm not sure which model was it.. Silly me. So I walked all the way to the first shop- the other end just to satisfy my curiosity because I really can't remember what model it was. I had to gamble right! If it's selling c40 for aed395 in the first shop means I'm screwed because I had to walk all the way back to the last shop to get the guitar. But if it's c70 for that price means, jackpot! No brainer. Buggers! So this is my guitar story.
