Members Stackabones Posted June 12, 2009 Members Share Posted June 12, 2009 My fine, fellow HCAGers, Thanks for being a part of my guitar-to-match-my-vox search for the past couple of weeks. Your input and humor have made this a blast. First the pics for goat-worthiness ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stackabones Posted June 12, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 12, 2009 This is my first small body acoustic, and my first with bridge pins in a long time. Essentially a 000-size guitar, it is still rather deep (just about 3 7/8" at the neck joint and 4 3/4" at the end pin). Solid top! Gorgeous and simple with sides and a backside that pics just don't really capture. The nut is 1 11/16" but the saddle spacing is just at 2" -- which would make this a perfect crossover acoustic for electric players imo. While the spacing feels a little too tight for fingerpicking, I don't find it too bad for hybrid picking. The neck is quick and responsive. The sound is full-throated when cowboy chords are strummed and delicate when fingerpicked. I notice some nice tonal variations when strummed near the neck, over the soundhole, at the back edge of the soundhole, and near the pins. All offer slightly different tones and it makes this guitar feel very responsive. I'll try to get some clips up, but I still haven't got my VOM done yet. The stock Yammie stock strings are rather nice, and I'm going to leave them on for a bit. This guitar is an easy buy at a great price. Since mine turned out to be a blem (kudos to Elderly for offering me a discount), it's even a better price! I'll do my best to answer any questions you may have. Next week, I'll post about a 00 that I also recently acquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rhancox Posted June 12, 2009 Members Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yeah-ah-ah-ah-ah, baby! That nato back and sides really is nice isn't it? I enjoy the same tonal variations you described on my FG 12-er. She sure is a beaut! Can't wait to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NiceAlex Posted June 12, 2009 Members Share Posted June 12, 2009 I have that same guitar; it's a great player. Have you managed to find a case that fits the body shape? It's too deep for all of the 000 and classical-sized cases that I tried. I know that Yamaha makes a deluxe case for it (GA32) but I was hoping to have more choices in terms of aesthetics and cost.

Members cb56 Posted June 13, 2009 Members Share Posted June 13, 2009 I see that you have Old And In The Way in your sig. Yeah, I thought that would be a great motto for me. But I must confess I don't know much about the band's music other than knowing who some of the players are. That alone should tell me it's great stuff. I need to get up to speed.

It's too deep for all of the 000 and classical-sized cases that I tried. I know that Yamaha makes a deluxe case for it (GA32) but I was hoping to have more choices in terms of aesthetics and cost. I'm going to try this one. It looks deep enough at 5.75". I found one blem at GC online and I have a gift card. If it doesn't work out, I guess I'll return it and get the Yammie case. I really want a tweed case, but all I can find is the one at Elderly and it doesn't ship free ... so it adds about $60 to the $125 price tag. Ouch.

I wanted a tweed case as well, but like you I couldn't find anything other than the one from Elderly. The SKB case looks interesting though, I'll have to check it out. Thanks.
