Guitar has been taken care of but played often. It was bought in 08. I'm working on my Yamaha SG2400 and it will be hard to take 2 guitars back when we leave. Price is firm. I will put 15,000 won towards shipping.


Panasonic vdr-d100 camcorder
235,000
Comes with:
Camera
4 mini DVD-RW's
battery
battery charger and cable
carry bag

Camcorder price is a little flexible. Will ship and pay the shipping up to 10,000. Manuals can all be found online. It has been used 5-7 times and is in very good condition.

Will ship anywhere in Korea. I live in Gyeongsan, the next train station past DongDaegu Station going towards Busan.

Will travel 1-2 hours by train if you are serious.

If by chance you want both price can be negotiated.

Why are you charging so much for the guitar? It's new for $180 (first links on Google).

Edit: I'll take it for 100k won.

[warmachinenkorea]

Mostly because the case is worth about $65 used

Guitar used $125+$65= $190
215,000 won is about $185.

100,000k is about $86 the guitar alone is worth more than.

People are selling crappy korean steel strings with gig bags for more than 100,000k

The same google search says $149.99 used.

Total newb here... what difference do nylon strings make, and what are the pros/cons of alternatives?

[warmachinenkorea]

Nylon string or classical guitar: Smaller in size, neck is shorter and no truss rod in the neck.

Steel string or your average acoustic guitar with a truss rod.

Pros to nylon: easy on the fingers and hands, smaller body, not too loud. Strings last longer than steel
Cons: not loud, not really made to strum with a pick, you won't get a sound you are accustomed to hearing in allot of music.

Steel string pros: strum it, pick it, tap it, or whatever. You will get a sound that you are accustomed to. Louder

steel string cons: If your new your gonna have sore fingers and hands because the strings demand more pressure to fret and bent.

I have an uncle who has played for years he usually only plays electric but he used to keep a nylon string guitar around to write and learn new songs on as they were easy to sit around the house and pick because no amp was needed but he also wouldn't bother other people and it was easy on his hands.

The Fender CDN-90 is a entry level guitar. If your learning it would be a good one. It has a decent tone and stays in tune. Most cheap guitars go out of tune often.

Nylon, or classical, is ideal and necessary for flamenco, a lot of traditional Spanish and Latin American stuff, and great for finger picking and arpeggios.

Steel string is traditional for a lot of styles of music originating in north America- it's what Dylan and a lot of the folk artists of the last 50 years played.

Which kind you want depends on what kind of music you want to play.


Best,
Justin

Nylon strings you need to stretch your fingers on a wider fretboard.

Laminated, means plyewood. The sound sucks. Don't let the Fender name fool you. At that price, you would expect a solid-top. Hard-shelled cases are much cheaper in Korea.

Since everyone knows about my guitar and case what should I be asking?

Rockhouse is selling a new "Crafter" 255,000 with gig-bag, strings, tuner, and foot stool.

Harpeau weren't you selling a guitar back in December with laminated sides? You said it sounded great.

This is a basic level entry guitar. It sounds good, not great, you won't be playing any concert halls with this guitar. It's something to learn on. It stays in tune and the case will keep it protected very well.

Thanks for the input.

However you said the cases were cheaper in Korea. 90,000 doesn't sound much cheaper.

[Harpeau]

I said 50 - 90 thousand. I have a jazzcase that would cost $300 or so in the USA. Here, you might pay 85-90,000. The only real exception to the rule would probably be TREC by Godin wich are made in Quebec and cost 100,000 or so here.

The guitar is sold but the camcorder is still available.
