Guitar People? Need Advice

Hello everyone,

I love my watches, but I also love financial security, so I’ve decided to put the search for watches aside and really appreciate what I’ve got. As they say, though, idle hands are the devil’s playthings, and I’ve been trying to get back into playing guitar. I played at an amateur level throughout middle and high school, but I haven’t touched a guitar since sophomore year of college about 6 years ago. I played electric in my school’s band, and I mostly played acoustic for fun. I owned a 1976 Epiphone ft-120 Acoustic, but my dad gave me free rein over his 1960s Martin Shenandoah, and I’ve really missed it since moving across the world for work.

Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of acoustic/classical guitar content on YouTube, which got me actively searching for something cheap and decent to practice on. A couple days ago, I paid $85 for a really nice 1970s Morris MD-520, which is a high-quality Japanese replica of a Martin dreadnought- solid spruce top, rosewood fretboard, and Gotoh tuners. Decent action, no buzz, and lots of beautiful MOP and ivory detailing. The sound is excellent, with much of the same tone I remember my Dad’s Shenandoah having, if slightly less resonant. I’ll post pics when I get back home.

A couple of my favorite songs came back to me quickly, but I sure do miss those callouses xP I have re-registered on UltimateGuitarTabs.com and am refreshing myself on the stuff I remember, but I would really like to expand into classical guitar. I understand it’s a little more difficult without the wider neck, but I have read that it is possible to start learning with a full-size standard acoustic.

I was wondering if any guitar guys here can give me some direction as I get back into the swing of things; where to re-acquaint myself with the basics, and how to get into classical guitar. Thanks in advance!
