Hi,
I have tried to play the guitar once before, however the work schedule and lessons did not match up. So I sold my begginers fender and was bumbed about it.

I found this site and think it will work well with my schedule and life.
I just perchased this guitar: Applause AE128-5 Super Shallow Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Black. I wanted to be able to play acoustic and a little electric guitar and a that friend plays, thought this would be a great starter for me.
Plus I'm a FAT (but sexy) man and the shallow body help with my reach.

The guitar got a lot of good reviews. So I pulled the trigger and should have it in 3 days. Merry Christmas to me.

My only concern is, as I mention I'm fat, and have fat fingers. When I started play before I found that getting two or more fingers on a fret a little hard.

I did read (on this site) about having a custom nut made and having the notches spread apart a little more the normal helps. If any body has other ideas about this please reply! (and please do not tell me to loose weight, I'm working on that already)

We hope to hear back from many of you!!!
Have a great holiday
Mike
