re: #1107 makeitstop
It was in great shape when I got it - it belonged to a teenage girl who got it for a birthday present and had absolutely no interest in it.
I’m proud to say I put every mark in it myself. Guitars don’t stay in pristine condition too long around here. :)
My first acoustic was a Barrington folk guitar that originally belonged to my mother. The sound board below the strings ended up being about half as thick as the rest. A pick can do a lot of damage to spruce.
