So my oldest daughter calls, she live 650 miles from me. She's 18. Later in the conversation I ask her if she is playing the fender acoustic, she says yes, but she can't hit the notes and chords, tells me her hands are to small and it's not a cool guitar. I told her to keep playing, she will get better.
In the mean time I just bought her ax-mas!
http://www.jacksonguitars.com/gear/gear.php?partno=JS30KE_Kelly # Used. $249.00 Mint condition with the exception of a bit of fret wear that can be fixed.
http://www.kustom.com/products/guitar_amps/kga10fx.asp New $70.00
and a molded hard case. $120
When I get it back from being setup for free I will take it down and have a real job done on it, probably be around $120 more.
My dad never bought me anything this cool. Do you think this will hit high on the cool meter?
That is cool. She is gonna love it. And you know what is even more cool? If she quits it's yours.
The coolest thing my father ever did was paint the normal coal I got with Christmas colors. Actually they did buy me some neat stuff for what I was into then.
Id say you are a cool dad.
two reasons.
your daughters gift...very cool on the meter.
and the term ax mas. nice....speaking a little spanish I like more ax too.
Not me as a cool dad, but as a cool guitar!
