A cheap guitar to practice

Brazilian guitar, Memphis is cheapest line of Tagima guitars. The only purpose is to practice, it doesn't sounds bad but you won't probably record anything with it.

Did you keep it all stock? Seems like since it's a cheap practice guitar it might be fun to switch out some parts :)

I've never changed anything on it up to date, but soon I'll start to make some changes. I also think it is a good starting point to people who want to build a "frankenstein" guitar but are running low on money. IMO, the best "cheap guitar" that we can find in the brazilian stores :)

gchiaren

I imagine Fenders and Gibsons super expensive in Brazil?

I didn't find TAGIMA WOODSTOCK 350 so let´s call the Woodstock 350

Not pro, but handles it

It's a cheap guitar, but I'm with this like 3 years and still pretty good to play with friends or in bedroom!
