what is RRT for skylark acoustic steel string guitar?
well....i thort it was time to buy a new guitar because the old one is REALLY old! and i wanted a new one pronto so i searched on ebay. i found a skylark steel string acoustic for 55 aus dollars. i was just wondering the recomended retail price for this guitar.
I don't know what make or model your old guitar is but just because a guitar is old doesn't mean you have to replace it. Older musical instruments, IF they were good ones to begin with, and well cared for, often sound better with age as the wood ages and gets "played in". IOW, over time, if the guitar is frequently played, the sound vibrations do good things for the wood and the guitar's sound opens up, becoming more resonant and rich. That's assuming you have a good-quality guitar made of solid woods. Cheap guitars made of "laminates" (aka plywood), OTOH, don't open up and sound better as they age - the sound you hear when you play them in the store is the sound they will always have even 100 years from now.
So if your old guitar is a cheaper beginner model made of laminated woods, and you're in the market for an upgrade to a better quality instrument, that's great. But I've never heard of a "Skylark" brand -- and $55 Australian is about $48 US, which is a VERY cheap guitar, even for a used instrument. Hardly an upgrade to something better, IOW.
If you want a better guitar, save your money, don't waste it on this guitar-shaped object.
