Members Glenn F Posted December 24, 2007 Members Posted December 24, 2007 Hi there, everyone! Just thought I'd take a moment out from wrapping presents, and all that other fun Christmas stuff to share a couple of pics I've taken of 4 of the guitars I bought this year. From left to right: Ibanez Artcore AS103 NT Custom: Very nice guitar, almost plays itself! Hanika 54PC: solid cedar top, solid East Indian back and sides, ebony fretboard. This is the best nylon string guitar I've ever played. Seagull S12: Cedar top, laminated cherry back and sides. This was my favourite 12 string out of about a dozen that I tried last summer. I had played a
Members Glenn F Posted December 24, 2007 Author Members Posted December 24, 2007 Ok, The first shot was without a flash, this one with: Enjoy! Merry Christmas! Glenn
Members Hoddy Posted December 24, 2007 Members Posted December 24, 2007 My two purchases this past year!
Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted December 24, 2007 Members Posted December 24, 2007 Cool Here are my two latest aquisitions in the acoustic area:My Taylor 114 & Martin 000-15 and I couldn't be more pleased with both of them.
Members Samilyn Posted December 24, 2007 Members Posted December 24, 2007 This is definitely a GAS-inducing thread. All so pretty!
Members Etienne Rambert Posted December 24, 2007 Members Posted December 24, 2007 More important than buying new guitars is learning to play better on the ones you own. If I had to do it all over again and if I knew better, I might just stick with the F-65ce and forego the others. -- I haven't bought any guitars since 2003 when I bought a Yamaha APX6na A/E nylon string.Great guitar. But it's in Louisiana. (Guitars I bought in 2007 - a binge year - (below). (From right: 1977 D-40 Guild, 1997 Guild F-65ce. Vietnamese hand-made Cedar Top, Indian Rosewood B&S jumbo cutaway, slothead, + an *ss-kicking archtop! Best investments? American-made is #1 & #3. But two Vietnamese-made guitars are #2. 1. 1997 Guild F-65ce - no contest. Greatest guitar I've ever owned. It's a better guitar than I had ever hoped to own. 2. Tie Jumbo Cutaway slothead (IR B&S/Cedar Top-Vietnamese. Unique sound. Think Eagles' song "You're Lyin' Eyes". It's that silky on the strum). 2. *ss-kicking archtop w/Kent Armstrong humbucker, Mahogany B&S, Spruce top-Vietnamese. It kicks **s, what can I say? Think Scotty Moore. Think whoever tou want. The archtop is a Gibson/Heritage killer). 3. Guild D-40. (US-made. The only real disappointment of the 4. It needs a setup & new saddle - bad. It's very anemic sounding compared to the 3 listed above. But the action is extremely good. It plays like a top-of the line Guild. It sounds like a Washburn or Alvarez.) --

Members Samilyn Posted December 24, 2007 Members Posted December 24, 2007 Come to think of it, I got my Martin D12X1 this year, just before I joined HCAG. Can't believe it's only been a few months - I feel like I've been bonded with this git for a lifetime.

Members T.B. Posted December 26, 2007 Members Posted December 26, 2007 This summer I bought a Walden G570TB.It took me some time to come around to cedar/mahogany combo, but I love the sound of this guitar! Trina
Members Etienne Rambert Posted December 26, 2007 Members Posted December 26, 2007 I love Cedar. I definitely prefer it to Spruce for a soundboard.
