I'm the proud poppa of a new Sierra Alpine acoustic guitar ($349). I've been playing my first guitar for over 20 years, so it was time to get a nicer guitar, and it is much easier to play.

The Alpine series embodies beauty and adventure discovered among the highest mountain ranges. Perfectly stylized with a Venetian cutaway, this acoustic-electric dreadnought creates a seamless balance of volume and clarity, enhanced by Barcus-Berry electronics. The Alpine reflects the fortitude of the Sierras with its unique 12th fret mountain range design.
Thanks to the good folks at Rock Shop:
