Last friday I received a guitar I used for recording "under exoriant light" back in 2006. As a matter of fact, I didn't even remember this guitar existing anymore - so receiving it for free was a nice little nostalgic surprise. I gave the guitar to my big sister as a birthday present back in 2007 Spring, and forgot it after that. Why I gave it away in the first place was simply that it wasn't great at staying in tune - I replaced it with some BC Rich guitar back then (which I no longer have either, I've been Gibson products' fan since early 2012).

I won't be recording anything with this guitar, but I do have some use for it; it works well as travel guitar - something to bring along and play wherever you are. As this is 3/4 scale guitar - it's quite small one. During past weekend I went through the guitar, cleaned it - changed the strings and to my surprise noticed that it seems to be staying in tune quite allright now. Reason? Back in 2006 I have used way too heavy stringset for it! Stupid is, stupid does. So, it will be nice travel guitar ...
... until some day in the future if I proceed with certain aquarium project idea; then I might strip the guitar clean from all metal / iron elements and could possibly use it as decorative element for a bit different kind of aquarium. ;)
PS: This guitar can be seen in this one rehearsal video from 2006, in case if you haven't seen the video.
