Looks like a pretty nice guitar mate.

I play a nice Ibaneze acoustic / electric guitar. I'd been playing for a while before then, and knew I was going to continue playing so I invested a little more into mine.

But a nice sounding guitar is a nice sounding guitar. Good luck with it if you grab it! :D

Ho, ho, ho, to the bottle I go
to heal my heart and drown my woe!
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
and many miles be still to go,
but under a tall tree I will lie!

New strings will usually always detune at first. You just have to wait for them to stretch in. :)

And damn that looks like a nice guitar CD... very nice. :D

My guitar looks very similar to this one:

Except it has warmer colour wood, and golden pearl machine heads. :)

V ery nice indeed, I gotta say i bought it back around 2001-2002 but never bothered learning til about a year and a half back, I reckon the best aid  i had apart from a milf (mates mum) who is a qualiied teacher is the rock guitar for dummies dvd. they have an accoustic version also. Theres a funny morman lookin bloke and it teaches you coombyah (sp?) 

Worth checkin amazon//play for...

I've been learning to play on and off for several years or so, first started when I was a younging because Dad plays, so learnt alot off of him.

I recently (end of 2005) decided I was going to get back into it and be more serious about it so invested in the new guitar. Mine was around the AUS $800 mark with hard case, stand, handfull of picks, tuner, strap, etc thrown in.
It's a really nice guitar and I've definitly had fun playing on it again. (godsend for stress relief during exams etc)

When I can afford to I'm going to nab some lessons at the same place I bought it from too. I want to catch up with a few people too, as quite a few people in the family play guitar or variaus musical instruments much better than I currently do. So I should be able to pick up a few things from them again. :)

Best way to learn new stuff in my opinion is jamming with another player. (who has patience) ;)
