Title: WTB: Art & Lutherie AMI for 11-year old player's first axe
Post by: sigurdd48 on July 05, 2006, 11:30:37 AM
Alright... I'm putting personal GAS aside for now (PHEW!)

I've been given the task of running down a good starter axe... but must be reasonably price too

Considering the size of his hands, the A&L Ami looks like a good, practical option

Anyone got one out there, collecting dust, willing to spin a good deal on?

I'm in Madison, Wi

I think the FG700 or something from yamaha is a good starter axe for around 200 new ( I am sure there are lots of used ones around too).  Just remeber to get rid of the plastic (not even tusq) saddle for a bone one.

My little guy started at age 5 with a Fender FG Jr., may also be known as MA-1 IIRC.  3/4 size, plays decently.
If you can't come up with a used Ami, a place called Buckdancer's Choice in Portland, Maine carries them.  They can get 2nds (B stock) as well as first quality.
