I was talking to someone who said she needed to drive 35 miles to get her son's guitar amplifier repaired. She was concerned that the kid, who seemed at the moment enthusiastic about practicing, might lose interest if he went too long without amplification.
Idly curious, I asked about the make and model of the amp. When she told me, I was puzzled: "You know, that's meant for electric-acoustic, an acoustic guitar with a built-in microphone. It might not be the best choice for an electric guitar."
She in turn looked back, puzzled. "Oh, no. It's an acoustic guitar, like you said."
The kid...
the kid couldn't practice ACOUSTIC GUITAR without an amplifier... because he couldn't hear what he was playing...
