So I decided that I've been spending way too much time on my phone. Yesterday I got a 1 year subscription to Fender Guitar's website to help motivate me to learn to play.
I started pretty much from the beginning and was rehashing some things I already knew.
Today I picked up my flat top and was tuning it and wouldn't you know it... my e string popped.
Nobody in this one-horse, goat-roping town sells strings.
Amazon to the rescue. I'll have new strings in a couple of days.
