so many replies and useful input, i really appreciate it! in addition, just wondering, would leaving my guitar in the sun give it a suntan or sun fade??? i know organs get faded pretty bad (btw, i also love hammond organs!!!!!!!!)
in response to:
dadaist and taabru45, about the condition, of course i'd like it to be decent and not beat to hell, but i don't care if it's perfect (even though i'm a perfectionist....). and yeah, i don't want to have to worry if it gets a scratch, etc! thanks for the concern and the tip though!
cjd-player, adorshki and mbaker824, dark might be cool, but to me, it looks too nice; not rugged enough. i'm not so tough, so i need a tough looking guitar. :lol: for what i do, playing raw music, i'd like a raw guitar. it just seems natural.... if i played more refined music, maybe the darker stain would be better. kind of like a beautiful classical piano for liszt but not for boogie woogie.
Drka, thanks for the info about ochanomizu!!! i've been there a few times but haven't looked closely at the guitars! how familiar are you with tokyo? i've also heard there's a good vintage shop in nakano. i'll probably go there to have them work on my guitar if necessary.
adorshki, do you think if i got another D25 i'd be able to swap the saddle too? same guitar so maybe similar. not exactly sure what kind of pickup is installed, but i think there are a couple of silver colored discs under the bridge area....
