  1. I came across a deal I could not pass up a few weeks ago. Young lady was getting rid of two guitars she had not played for a few years. Her asking price was so low, I assumed it had to be theft or a scam. We chatted a while and she allowed me to come check them out. Once I get there the 1st thing I notice is the Takamine (EG460SC) G series. I was a bit floored (I have been looking for this model for a while) it needs new tuning pots and a battery, that's all! I immediately informed her of it's worth and that it is discontinued. She shrugged and said it was a gift from an ex and they haven't been together for quite a while. I pressed a bit more and told her, in it's current state she could get a couple hundred dollars for it. She insisted on the original agreed upon price. I then checked out the blank acoustic (no makers marks, no inner sticker), tuned it and gave it a play. It definitely needs nylon or nylon hybrid and has an amazing sound. Before giving her what felt like far too little for both I reminded her, they are worth four times what she is asking. She appreciated my honesty and said "seems like they're going to a good home and that's all that matters to me." FIFTY DOLLARS later, I left her place, both guitars in hand. So the help I am asking. It looks like an older Eko, possibly a Yamaha, but I don't think it is either. What do you think?
