Carter Starter

Gene Willis · Post by **Gene Willis** » 11 Jul 2004 1:40 pm

I am new to this and I am looking into buying a "Carter Starter or something comparible to get my "feet wet".
I need everything from guitar to finger/thumb picks, amp, volume pedal....the whole nine yards.
If you want to sell a guitar and/or other equipment that would complete this package, leave a message here but also please e-mail me as I don't get to the forum that often.
I will see the e-mail quicker!

I am not necessarily looking for "brand new" equipment but I don't want to get involved with beat up, ragged out stuff either since I am not familiar with repairs, etc. yet as well.

If you are in Georgia...that's a plus!

I am new to this forum too, so will probably bug you guys for help when I get started

Musician's Friend sells these new, but Billy Cooper's shop has a used unit that is like new.(billycoopersmusic.com.). They are great folks to deal with and will be quite helpful I am sure. For an amp, I would recommend a Peavey Nashville 112. These small amps are great for practice, and will perform well in most playing situations. Hope this has been helpful, and best of luck.

Thanks David;
I am checking out the website now. Looks like a trip to Virginia might not be a bad trip after all

Thanks Again

There is a music store in Thomaston, GA, The Music Man is the name, that has a used Carter starter for sale. It was bought by a bass player who wanted to learn steel but gave up after 1 month.
Tel. 706-648-4486.

Larry;
Had to leave a message on the machine (I hope it belongs to him)for him to call me back. If you know him, please get word to him that I am interested and to call me back at the number I left on his machine.
Thanks Again Larry

Hey Gene,
Look under Instruments for Sale on the Forum. My buddy, Skip Mertz from Fayetteville, NC, has a Carter Starter advertised for sale with volume pedal for $600.00. Also, you can reach Skip by phone at 1-910-630-6339. Skip is a good guy and will do what he can to help out another musician. Good Luck! Vann Cranford
