TIPS?

yo! what up!
in this post I think I'll be giving few tips of what things to check before you purchase a freakin acoustic guitar! though I guess you can google/youtube it lol, well obviously Im just tryin to make my blog stays active lol.
anyway dropped by some music shops today, a friend of mine wanted to get an acoustic guitar and he needs my opinion! which Im not really good at it lol
so yeah we stopped by this music shop called Ice Music Paradise, what a name for a music shop huh? anyways, I know the owner and he knows me, his name is Ice! what a name for an owner of music shop lol.
so basically we came across this guitar
Ibanez V Series cutaway acoustic guitar, built in pick up and tuner.

so here're the tips:

0
. Make sure you've got enough money or make sure your credit card is in your wallet but I guess before that make sure your wallet is with you LOL!

1. Grab the guitar and make sure you're comfortable with the neck and the body (if you don't know which one is the neck & body click here)

2. Make sure the body of the guitar is BIG & solid top, the bigger the body the louder/nicer sound it'll produce.

3. Make sure the bridge is not too high, how to check on that? just play "A" bar chord if you get the perfect sound of "A" bar chord or you think its easy for you to play bar chords on this guitar that means the bridge is just nice! lol (does that even make sense? owh yeahh!)

4. (not necessary!) check if the guitar has a cutaway, purpose of cutaway is so that you can play the highest notes on your guitar (i think so*)

hm...I think basically that's all you've to check before you purchase an acoustic guitar.
*so, did your friend buy that guitar?
ohh lol almost forgot bout that, hmm...no he didn't cause its out of his budget but ICE (the owner) offered him another guitar which is the same brand with no pick up and cutaway but it comes with freebies like guitar bag, guitar picks (5 pcs), guitar strap, tuner + external pick up which costs around RM450, not bad huh? he's contemplating on it for 15mins and booom!! "let's just book this guitar and lets check out citymusic (another cool music shop that closes every friday) which was closed when we got there, so we're gonna check it out some other time meanwhile that guitar from Ice music is still "on hold".
