Members geek_usa Posted April 2, 2004 Author Members Share Posted April 2, 2004 Originally posted by cjaffe This probably sounds stupid but I love my epiphone acoustic that I bought for only $99. It has a great sound and since I'm not that experienced of a player I cant find any flaws in it. Its even made out of mahogany not some crap wood. hey man that is totally cool. I have an acoustic I bought for $150 and even though I'll be picking up my Big Baby Taylor here around spring, I still won't sell it. It's just too good, and I've done so much with it. She's a workhorse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bullpencoach Posted April 2, 2004 Members Share Posted April 2, 2004 Right now it's still my Washburn EA-20. It hasn't been set up in about a dozen years, the pickup is useless and not even secured properly at the moment, it's been abused with many plane rides - and yet, it always feels right. With it's sharp cutaway and laminate quilt top it's probably not the style I would choose today (I'm looking for an OM guitar), but what can I say? Having a guitar that always works for you is a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members franchelB Posted April 2, 2004 Members Share Posted April 2, 2004 I have one Takamine and 2 Taylors (actually 3, but I gave the Baby to my daughter)... What do YOU think my favorite acoustic guitar brand is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Etienne Rambert Posted April 3, 2004 Members Share Posted April 3, 2004 About 20 years ago in a recording studio in Atlanta, I played on an early 1960's vintage Gibson J-45 (I think it was the J-45). It was the brown, sloped shouldered Gibson. The neck was pure Gibson. A dream compared to my Guild D-25 that I was playing at the time. The sound of that old Gibson was something I will never forget. The studio owner didn't even play guitar. he told me he bought it for $5.00 To this day, that is the paradigm acoustic guitar sound to me.I've looked a long time trying to find one that sounded like it. Never have. It was a soft, subdued kind of sound. But very rich. The softness of the sound gave chords a color and a sort of depth I've never encountered again. I was just swept away by the beauty of that sound. Old strings on it too. It was the best-sounding steel-string acoustic I've ever played. And the strings were nearly rotten. But I don't think new strings would have improved it much. After that - I like old Guilds. And I like recent cutaway Taylors. But I play an 1988 Ovation Elite. Can't beat it for functionality or versatility. Great neck. And it is beautiful to look at. Sounds good unplugged too. I also have an old Guild D-25. I use it mainly as a high-string guitar. When I buy strings, I buy D'Addario Phosphor Bronze extra-lights for 12 strings. The high strings I put on my Guild. The regular strings I put on my Ovation. Next guitar - maybe my playing partner's Taylor.I love how it plays - not necessarily the sound. But it feels right. Or maybe one of those Ovation LX guitars. I want to see if the design changes have really resulted in a brighter & more resonant tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members likkafella Posted April 3, 2004 Members Share Posted April 3, 2004 I have a yamaha FG 432 solid top, great guitar. As you say some of the best guitars in their range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lightningbug Posted April 3, 2004 Members Share Posted April 3, 2004 I just picked up a Seagull S6 Spruce Top today, it's a sweat sounding little thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rock4gzus Posted April 4, 2004 Members Share Posted April 4, 2004 I love my 1977 Mossman Flint Hills. It has great volume and plays like a dream after Brian, who works at riffdaddy's shop, set it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
