I let my daughter Sarah use my 83 Yamaha FG acoustic to take lessons way back, I was invited to see how she was progressing... come to find out her teacher was a member of Fog Hat, commented on the great tone of it.. wow, I know my jaw probably sagged some. I had some others say the same before so was great to have a celebrity say it too.
So when I think of picking some I turn to YouTube oldie since my fingers don't work that well these days.
Sarah plays electric violin these days.
The FG is comfortable in it's case waiting for its next picking session
