    Yep. That's how I got my Kramer.

    I don't know if I will do that for my daughter though. For some reason, I'm sort of stuck on getting it new.

    I did. Just replied prior to you posting this one.

    Agreed. Great starter electric, but it has to be acoustic. I convinced her to give up on a pink one, so I have to honor the acoustic request.

    My life is a
    Ben Stiller movie.

    stupid question:

    If a switch in a house is in an "on position" but the lamp that is plugged into it's socket is turned off. is it still sending/useing current?

    She doesn't want the trouble of plugging up. She prefers an acoustic, so baby girl gets what she wants.

    I found several "pink" ones. SamAsh had several online. Best one was $149 (Daisy something) and looked too cheesy to believe.

    I'm getting her a pink gig bag though!!!!

    Huh? A switch opens and closes a circuit. Off, the contact is broken or separated so the current stops at the switch.

    Did I misunderstand?

    correct... but with a light switch off try putting metal in to the socket... you still get shocked... trust me... i do it several ltimes a tear because i have a bad habbit of holding on to the prongs...

    it is sending yes, using no. the switch on the lamp in the off position has the 'open'. when the switch on the lamp is switched on, it 'closes' the circut and is then using power.

    if you don't believe me, keep the wall switch on and unplug the lamp and put a paper clip in it. you will get shocked so that tells you power is going to the lamp but not the lamp/switch relay to the bulb to complete the circut, thus using electricity...

    ok, so then even with the Lamp off, if the switch is "on" the power is still in use? fuck...we've wasted a LOT of energy then
