What I found in the shed.

Post by willcall » Fri May 18, 2012 3:55 pm

I found this in the shed while looking for another guitar. I remember using this one at school but had forgotten all about it.

The fret markers are electrical tape and it is a righty strung lefty without the nut being reversed.

Does anyone think it is worth anything or is it safe for my nephew (5yr old) to play around on?

I still haven't found the guitar I was looking for though.
Cheers, Will

I thought I had too many guitars around the house. But if you are losing some, and finding others that you forgot about years later, Man, you have some guitars. I only say this out of envy, you understand.

Is that a good one for your nephew to play on? For sure. He probably doesn't even know yet whether he is a lefty. He probably doesn't want to fret any notes - just bang on the thing. So, it is perfect - even if the action is terrible, which is likely for an old Suzuki unsighted for a couple of decades.

Thanks,
The neck is a shocker with a huge bow in it.
Nah, I wish I had heaps of guitars. I only have 1 useable ATM, Maton performer and 2 repairers, this one and the 3/4 size (about 60yrs old) which I can't find.
I am working on an electric ATM so hopefully I will have 2 guitars soon.

Will
