I’ve only been on this forum a few months, but it is safe to say that most of us here have been in the guitar purchasing, playing, selling, trading (etc) game for some time. Given that, i’m sure that i’m not alone in saying that some purchases and trades end up being busts and not panning out.
That said, i’m curious about when folks make the decision that a guitar should be moved along. To be more clear, i’m curious about when folks make the decision that an otherwise fully functioning and playable guitar is just not for them.
i’m at this point with the D140 - CE I purchased used a few months ago. Clearly folks on this forum have lots of good things to say about the 100 and 200 series, and the 140 I bought is the stunning sunburst with the 1.75 nut - by the numbers it should the perfect under 1,000 guitar for me. Sadly, I am not bonding with the guitar. I’ve tried different string types and gauges, different picks, different styles . . . had it professionally set up but still nothing.
Not sure what its future is but I am curious as to how others determine when to call time on a guitar. (Sorry. out the length of the post.)
