So I'm at Target yesterday doing so Christmas shopping. I was looking for 9v batteries for my pedals when out of the corner of my eye I see a woman picking up one of the cheap acoustic guitars and put it in her cart. Man, I could not let her do that! I walked over to her and told her whom ever she was buying it for would play it maybe a total of about 10 min and never pick it up again because it would be so hard to play and keep in tune. I gave her the lecture about warped necks and not being even setup and with totally crappy strings.

She put it back on the shelf and was heading to GC for a electric guitar.

So, if you get an fender squier electric guitar instead of a crappy target acoustic, you're welcome 8)

It don't matter, it's not an unplayable guitar. I play my electrics unplugged a lot.

Now if you can just intercept calls for people ordering Esteban guitars you'll be an instant member of the sainthood.
