I was just trying out the electro-acoustic in my room, where my electric works perfectly. I strum the electric. Noise, and I use the word advisedly, is produced. I plug the acoustic in. No noise. The battery is in, the volumes is up, the strings are still on it. No noise. So I hitch alift to a music shop in College Town with Dad. I say "This guitar dun't work." He plugs it in. It works. Whether or not it works now it's back at ours, it will be a bit of a disappointment. It doesn't do to have a guitar that sometimes works.
