Jim, If you dislike the JMG guitar so much, why not just sell it? You could stick it on Ebay with an accurate, yet somewhat truth-economical description, and I'm sure it would sell. Real Flamenco guitars go for big bucks on Ebay- even if they're not that good. Plus, the chances are that the "lucky" buyer will be none-the-wiser about whether its a dud or not, and just happy that he's got something to practice his "Rassgwaydoes" on (perhaps not so dissimilar to myself [;)]). I have no idea of the retail value for a JMG guitar, but things usually sell for half to two thirds of that value on Ebay (occasionally less or more). Don't get me wrong- I'm not advocating that you should be dishonest. But IMO as long as you don't actually LIE or make any false claims about the guitar, you could sell it as it is. Personally, if I disliked any of my guitars, I would have got rid of them very quickly- otherwise we're falling into the G.A.S. ("Guitar Acquisition Syndrome") trap. It might be worth a shot, otherwise it'll only gather dust and take up space. Either that, or you could hold a ceremonial burning as an offering to The God Of Guitars. Toast a few marshmallows, and watch as its spirit rises up to Guitar Heaven. But if you DO decide to flog it on Ebay, just remember not to make any overstated claims about its sound. Jb
