Fender DG20S

Lets see, I bought this guitar at Guan Hock Lee at their Car remote control shop in Menglait when it still had a branch there. One of 5 acoustic guitars on display. They had two guitars with solid tops, Epi dove and this one. All guitars are wrapped in plastic and tied with rubber bands. This fender DG20s was wrapped also with plastic and rubber bands that deteriorated so badly that it just crumbled off when you pulled on the plastic wrap. Unbelievable right? Plastic wrapped?
The 1st string was broken and all the strings were rusty. I asked to demo it and the old lady took ages to unwrap it that i had to help her. I tuned it but it was no good to play on as it had rusty strings. However, I felt it resonated well and i could feel the difference made by the solid top. I asked for a better price because i wasnt happy with the strings and thew old lady gave it.
Its great for the beach and whenever you wana just strum in the middle of nowhere without worrying about damaging it. Its been on jungle trips too where i had to walk across rivers and small waterfalls. i had to dry it quickly.
