woodland guitar

Hi All

i'm new to here and am looking at getting my first gypsy style guitar. has anyone tried these woodland guitars? they're pretty cheap in price, but i know that usually translates to crappy guitars.

any thoughts on these? or a comparable low price beginner to mid guitar?

My personal memory - and this is going a long, long way back, when I began studying bagpipe, or when my wife first got into the bodhran, and neither one of us knew any better at the time - is that LITM has everything under the sun, but by and large the stuff is pretty hit or miss (I seem to recall I was looking for a decent chanter, before looking into handmade, authentic chanters). I'm sorry if this is inaccurate and therefore unfair - as I said, a long time ago now, I may have simply gotten my memory confused with another outfit, and nothing to do with a guitar at any rate.

However, esp. as this guitar is selling for $299 on LITM, have you considered just getting a Cigano, available in this site, for $297-330, depending on the style you're looking for? Michael has spoken very well of the Cigano, I picked one up and played it at our local store, enjoyed it very much - would have gotten that, most likely, if I hadn't scored a great auction on a Gitane DG-300.

Good luck.

Agreed--stick with a Cigano or a Gitane if you're looking for something in that price range...I've only ever heard bad news about the Woodlands.
