For fifty dollars, I got the best guitar there is - a Burswood/
Esteban! Any more questions?

That, respectfully, isn't a smart question. In fact, I think it is trolling.

After you get this question answered, might I suggest a few others?

1. Who is the best guitar player ever?
2. Which is better, Gibson or Epiphone?
3. What key is Sweet Home Alabama in?
4. Why does Esteban REALLY dress like Zorro?

It is trolling because there is no such thing as a "best acoustic
guitar". However, such a question does stir things up, which is the
role of the troll.

Don't take it so hard. Next time just put a little effort into your bait.
Tell us a little story about your kid or how you haven't played for a long
time. That was just a lame attempt at trolling. I suggest next you try
alt.hvac. Practice on them for awhile. You can do this!

We haven't heard much from Todd lately. I guess he considers himself too
good to hang around with a bunch of beginners.

Thank-you Ed for the recommendation. I'll make a point of trying out the
Tacoma DM-9 the next time I go to the music store.

It'll probably have to be a used one. Fender bought them out awhile
back, and another good company kinda almost vanishes. I bought a new one
some years back and later sold it to finance a DM-18. Dang me. The DM-9
is somewhat spartan, but it (mine, at least) really had a sweet voice. I
think the cost back then was around $500.

GOOD ANSWER! And the winning number is? How much to melt your credit card or

P.S my number was $6,500.00, BUT I got what I wanted and now it's worth more

The answer would be that Yamaha from Costco...of course.

No his name is actually Todd Larock. He lives in NY. His AOL page was
classic and one of the funniest things I ever saw. I searched AOL for it and
it's gone. I don't remember him being a troll. He is a guy stuck in the
70's. Don't remember if he could play or not but if I remember correctly he
wasn't bad.
