Nice, thanks Cat! So my dh bought me a guitar. I was taking lessons on the mandolin because it is small and I have tiny hands and a regular size guitar is just too big. It's like standing behind a door and trying to play. lol But I wasn't satisfied because all the songs I wanted to play didn't sound good on a mando.
So... He got me a 1/3 size little Fender acoustic and I'm having a wonderful time learning it. It sounds pretty too. But I will never have feeling in my left hand fingertips ever again I'm afraid.
