No instrument... yet. But I looked at both banjos and ukeleles, and a 12 string acoustic. I wasn't feeling the 12 string today, though, so it turned into more of a fact finding mission regarding the other two. The sales guy described a ukelele as "an acoustic guitar capoed at the 5th fret, with the two lowest strings taken off." So, yeah.
While I didn't come home with an instrument, here's what I did find at MidBell:
1) new picks (because, hey, every so often you need some new picks)
2) a book of guitar transcription paper
3) the Guitar Recorded Versions for Sigh No More by Mumford & Sons
4) chord charts for both banjo and ukelele
Oh, and I ordered a really cool guitar information poster that seems to have everything you could ever want to know about anything on it.
I found a copy of the new Son Volt record at F.Y.E. in the mall, and new issues of both Guitar World and Acoustic Guitar in a stop off at B&N. They hadn't gotten in the new issue of Guitar Techniques yet, otherwise I'd have gotten that as well.
All told, it was a pretty awesome day.
