The Battle of the Affordable Dreadnaughts

[mangold]

i think you got your mind made up, no need for us lol

lol, you guys fooled me into it! that's not fair. oh well, i guess i've been thinking about the artwood in the back of my head a lot lately. i do have my reasons for getting one so unless i can find something spur of the moment, i'll be gettin it. btw, i've seen some AMAZING deals on guitars that have been marked used from the company. does any1 have expirence with these and is it that big a deal? from my understanding they are new but have been discontinued in someway.

i say used is better as long as you've played it. if it has no real flaws than the fretboard is better because its worn in and the neck is a little faster because its been played. plus you save some green

Yea, that's true. The dude selling it acually told me that they are not used in fact, except him restringing it and making adjustments. That kinda blows me away cause it's at least $300 bucks off AND comes with a hardshell case. But after reading his feedback the man knows his business and obviously cares for what he sells. It's gonna be sweet! OHHHHHH, i love savings!

sweet man, keep us posted
