Members Texas Noise Factory Posted October 1, 2012 Members Share Posted October 1, 2012 Here's my piece of {censored} beater acoustic. The action is horrible on it ATM, but it sounds huge. Looks like an eagle played the {censored} out of it nightly doing cowboy chords for bout 10 years. The grooves in the fretboard are awesome!

Members erksin Posted October 2, 2012 Members Share Posted October 2, 2012 I'm primarily an acoustic player. This is what I use: It's a Guild GAD M20. No, I didn't get one to be Nick Drake (seriously, he never even owned an M20. Look it up if you don't believe me). I bought it because I really like how it sounds. There's something about the small body, mahogany top, and shorter scale that go together very well when paired with the right strings. I play with my fingertips, and it just sounds lovely. I love Hog acoustics - the mids are so nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zappa74 Posted October 2, 2012 Members Share Posted October 2, 2012 I only like small acoustic guitars. Way more enjoyable to play. I just need to find a decent cheap one to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members caeman Posted October 2, 2012 Members Share Posted October 2, 2012 I play my acoustic resonator (round neck) far more often than my tele. I love the metallic after-ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Folky_Grunge Posted October 2, 2012 Members Share Posted October 2, 2012 I love Hog acoustics - the mids are so nice. Oh, I'm all about mids, both with acoustic and electric guitars. As far as acoustics go, I'm not really a big fan of popluar styles like standard dreadnoughts or super jumbos because they tend to favor bass and/or treble too much for me. Ideally a like guitars with a fairly balanced sound overall, but a little bit of emphasis in the mids; it's why my favorite styles are smaller bodied guitars, stuff with hog tops, and round shouldered jumbos, like the J-45/J-50.

Members bkd Posted October 2, 2012 Members Share Posted October 2, 2012 Here's my acoustic - OM body/Dreadnought sized neck. Sitka spruce top, Peruvian walnut back/sides, maple binding. I'm really happy with the sound and feel of it, and it'll only get better with age.Here's a good shot of the back and sidesI've also got a Takamine dreadnought cutaway that's about ten years old. Sounds and feels fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stevenglass Posted October 2, 2012 Members Share Posted October 2, 2012 I pretty much play acoustic only now. Electric is so much fun for pretty chords and fuzz etc, but when im writing im acoustic. I've got the best acoustic ever.I must have played 30-40 acoustics and this one was the only one i really really loved. It actually beat out a Gibson J165 which was marked at 1k.This is the love of my life right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stevenglass Posted October 2, 2012 Members Share Posted October 2, 2012 clips please http://soundcloud.com/glasssteven/birds-in-a-sackThat's a track i did for funsys. It's just some slide improv, and i realized my condenser picked up the tempo clicker. Though it was kinda cool so i left it. There's also some acoustic in this one near the middle. http://soundcloud.com/glasssteven/running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members english_bob Posted October 2, 2012 Members Share Posted October 2, 2012 I have some V-Picks - they're awful for acoustics, IMO. Like playing with a stone pick.Really? I quite like my V-Pick with acoustic (I think it's the OG V-Pick). It took some getting used to for strumming (where a , but I feel like I get better tone, more bass and better note separation with the V-Pick. It might be that it does more favours to a cheap lam-back/sides box like mine than to a more expensive (and therefore likely better-sounding) acoustic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lefort_1 Posted October 2, 2012 Members Share Posted October 2, 2012 I will let you let me try your awesome acoustic guitar over a jar of pickled delights and a cold beer. Just completed in the past 2 weeks: 50 lbs of hot dills 25 lbs of hot green beans 80 lbs of pickled beets 3 jars of okra 9 jars of pickled eggs (new recipe for this year....unsure as to the outcome...RoboFarts fer sure) one seriously pickled brain. ...this is almost 200 lbs short of my target for dills...but it was a crap growing year, and moving my biz kinda got all my attention til just now. I need to make a pdx trip soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phillbis Posted October 2, 2012 Members Share Posted October 2, 2012 I'm at the lower budget end with my acoustics but still play one of them every day. I currently play an Epiphone Masterbilt DR500P, which they quit making for some reason and an Alvarez SC160-12 12 string. Both sound great for $500 acoustics.

Members A.P. Ryder Posted October 2, 2012 Members Share Posted October 2, 2012 This thread is full of so much win! Please keep it going! By the way, I play my resonators with a V-pick Insanity - 11.85 mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
