Members eichaan Posted December 15, 2009 Members Share Posted December 15, 2009 I got this Silver Creek T-160 on a Black Friday special from Music 123. It was a fantastic deal at $150 shipped. The guitar has great sustain, and loves open tunings. After being without an acoustic guitar for a couple of years, I really began to get the itch to have another one. We recently moved to a house after living as boarding school dorm parents for 6 years, so it was ok to have a louder acoustic (I wouldn't disturb anyone). I read about these OOO sized guitars online--apparently Silver Creek is Musician's Friend/Music 123's house brand. These guitars are solid wood (with spruce tops and mahogany backs and sides) and built to the specs of 1930's era Martins, including a large pyramid volute on the neck. Here is a clip of some chords and finger picking I did in Open D tuning. Thanks for looking and listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members eichaan Posted December 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 15, 2009 They only have the one color. But at this price, you could refinish and still come out ahead.Pretty!Do they make those in vintage sunburst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gthom Posted December 15, 2009 Members Share Posted December 15, 2009 That's a good looking guitar, even moreso at $150. Happy NGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TN.Frank Posted December 15, 2009 Members Share Posted December 15, 2009 Didn't MF blow em' out at $80 bucks a while back? From what I've read they are suppose to be pretty decent all wood guitars. Even if you have to have a set-up done on em' they'd still be worth the money. Congrats.
