Ibanez DT100ECENT

I took my kids to the music store today because I wanted to scout out a smaller body acoustics for my step-son to learn on. I was looking for a Taylor Baby, like the one I posted about yesterday, but they didn't have one at that particular music store. This guy deals mostly in used guitars and though he does have some good brand name guitars, he's not an official dealer for any of the brands. As far as I know, it takes a lot of money from the retailer to be an official dealer. You have to carry a certain amount of stock in that brand and so forth.

I found a good round neck Dobro resonator. I didn't buy it, but I'd love to have it. I also found a great little guitar for my step-son. It's an Ibanez DT100ECENT. These are 3/4 size guitars. The DT in the model stands for "day tripper". This is a guitar you can carry around anywhere. It's slightly smaller than a full-sized guitar, but that makes an incredible amount of difference in portability. At the same time, it doesn't lack in sound or volume. That was one of the main things I noticed about this guitar right from the beginning. It's loud for its size. I expected it to be quiet.

It is also an acoustic electric. It has a built it EQ and tuner. I really like the added tuner. It's a great little guitar, and they sell for around $250. It seems to me that guitars are getting better and cheaper than when I was a kid. I'm glad, because I've spent a lot of money on guitars through the years.

See if you can find a used DT100ECENT at used acoustic guitar.
