what kind of acoustics does everybody have??

[lucky13sp]

what kindd of acoustics do you all have?
i have a 2000-ish Fender DG-6.
it shall be replaced with a Maton acoustic when i've got a new electric and a new amp and some pedals.

[GCPedals]

a taylor 12-string and a morgan 6-string.

[cubby]

Alvarez copy of a Martin - very similar to the one pictured on the cover of the Johnny Cash tribute Kindred Spirits. http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00006GF1O.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

It's made in Japan and over twenty years old now and just keeps getting better with age. The only real changes I have made were to add a bone saddle and nut. Great guitar.

[j_stashko]

Fender F-3.

[obsoletemachine]

A Dean Tradition S CE (http://www.deanguitars.com/tradition_s_ce.htm) through a SWR California Blonde amp.

I love it :)

[gary]

A cheap AXL one, which was amazing until I dropped it against the side of my bed, which is metal. Now lots of the frets have huge dents in them and notes don't sound properly.

Still, I'd buy another. :)

Also great for vocals (for one show our drummer w/ the PA dropped out on us, and I had to use both channels for vocals--pulled off with flying colors)

Sorry for posting this in the Unplugged section :)

That is a Peavey, isn't it?

[spaceiskind]

I have two, they are...

1952 Framus
1974 Framus Texan with Framus pick up

[triggercut]

I got an Epiphone AJ-45, basically a Gibson J-45 copy. Pretty good-sounding guitar, actually, but it seems like many of the Epiphone acoustics are. Maybe someday I'll get an actual J-45, though truth be told I'm pretty content with the Epiphone.

[slcrock]

gibson hummingbird, unbelievable sound...

[mikematyus]

$90.00 used classical unnamed guitar! woo. has action as high as empire state building

[EviLTwiN]

I have a takamine EN-20 electro-acoustic, a Guild (not sure what model... don't play it much as its permanently tuned to open G, but its £1500+), and sort of a Martin (I get to play it but my dad owns it.... for now... mwuh ha ha!). Plus an old aria, a 12 string, a classical, and some other odds and ends.

[The User]

Martin DXM, Elixer Polywebs, standard Tuning
Yamaha G-55, random strings, E E B B e f#

[SublimeSurf]

ha i'm so lame, a johnson musicians friend special deal. it came with a mandolin for 100 dollars. works for me though, just for practice .

[GPablo]

i have a guild dc-25. it's an awesome guitar. it sat on the shelf at the music store for about 3 years, and it was one of the last ones to be made before fender moved the factory.

[i_finlayson37]

I have a Red Westfield SR 383 which sounds really great acousticly, it's great for finger picking on too. Only problem is the Preamp is a little trebbly but that's not too bad a problem.

And an Ibanez 12 String which is loud and has a lot of Sustain. It can't stay in tune very well but it was cheap and fun to play on when I get bored of 6 strings

[Chobbs]

Fender DG10? maybe....it's the best guitar ever...never mind the "classy" non-solid top, it sounds just like a $2000 hummingbird! seriously though, i do like the fretboard

[Surferosad]

A really old beaten up Yamaha FG-180 that I love. It's the guitar I actually play the most often.

[Alecto]

An early-80's Guild D4 that used to belong to my aunt, a Takamine 12-string (grad present) and a 1953 Goya classical that used to belong to my dad. :D

[METaLLiKka7447]

an Oscar Schmidt Prototype acoustic, i went to store one day on a limited budget and i was talking to this guy about the guitar i was thinking of buying, so he told me he had a prototype in the back that his friend gave to him, it was played, it was liked, it was bought

[G6add9]

Ibanez PF5BK* that I play every day.

*borrowed from a good friend who moved back east.

I would love to have a Mark I with a moseley trem and a sunburst! I love these guitars. But they're so damn rare. And sellers like to pretend they're the Ventures Model so that they can jack up the price.

[no_happy]

i got a martin d16 gt acoustic... only just got it but its very nice

[redneckrocker]

I have a Seagull s6 with a cutaway and a Fender Gemeni II

[conno182]

i have a washburn D10 acoustic dreadnought.

i will be trading it in for 2 maton acoutics. cause i playing a lot of acoustic gigs nowadays.

2x Maton EM325ce's. with AP5 pickups. they sound sweet

[Abaddon]

A cheap second hand Art and Lutherie that never stays in tune. For recording I just get a loan of a Washburn or an Ovation, and I dont play acoustic live.

[indykrap]

harmony classical from the 70s (?) and crappy oscar schmidt og2.
i love them both to death.

[Brick]

Cordoba 40R Classical

[benfoust]

I have a Takamine EF-341C and an old Yamaha acoustic. I am purchasing a Taylor 814BCE in a week:D I CAN'T wait!!!

[Hasselhoff]

A Yamaha Apx9-12 (that 12 means 12 string) But it broke about a year ago on the neck up by the headstock. It's gonna cost almost as much as I paid for it so I don't think I'll be fixin it. :(

[benfoust]

I have a Takamine EF-341C and a cheap Yamaha classical. However, I am getting my dream guitar in a couple of days. It is the 2002 Taylor 814ce limited edition. It has a spruce top with stunning cocobola back and sides. It also has curly koa binding, which looks infinitely better than the plastic binding.

[NoFroBro]

1976 Guild D355B
Yamaha FG-402MS

[accord dude]

Martin HD-28

[spanky]

Martin SPD16M - I use a Dean Markley Pro Mag Gold Humbucker into a Yamaha rackmount preamp to the p.a.

Takamine F360S (Early 70's D28 copy) - I installed a Martin thinline in it. Same preamp.

Does my Guild Slim Jim count?

[deafbox-]

Unknown Hopf. It's pretty old..

[malcom]

Guild M20. My favorite guitar ever.

PS: It's a Nick Drake guitar!

[accord dude]

You know what I had not played a Guild acoustic till i came to belmont and they are prity awsome guitars and alot of people have them here. But im still a Martin fan. And ive even had some Taylor fans say that my Martin is awsome but mine seems to me to play better than most of them and have a better tone...freakish...

well i keep reading about your little obsession with aussie guitars lucky13.

well i am planning on doing it. getting the matons that is. no those ones are not the messiah series. mind you they are very nice none the less.

it is either that or a new les paul and something else. i have cash spare so i thought i might spend it. i have a nice car and this is what i love

[wren]

I've got a late sixties/early seventies made in Italy Eko that I like a lot. It's made out of really weird wood, but it sounds good and it looks really nice.

[ARJ]

I have a Seagull S6 Spruce, cant beat em for the money.

[satinsixstring]

MARTIN!!! OOO YA!

I just love to do that once in a while, I think that it helps me justify the price of the guitar. It also sounds great.

[fjs74]

I just picked up a brand new Fender GA-45SCE Acoustic/Electric. It's pretty sweet.

I also have an older 1978 Ovation Matrix (metal fretboard) beater that looks like Willie Nelson took care of it...

I used to have one of those. It was my dad's and he gave it to me when I started playing guitar. The action was dreadful, but it sounded awesome. My dad lent it to his brother and we never got it back. Wish I still had that one.

[cormac]

got a 1980 epiphone pr-650n ... when gibson bought epiphone (1979 or abouts) they started making them in korea ... this was a new model (very similar to the better known 350) ... they made it for about 5 years and then stopped for some reason ... i don't know why except maybe it was too similar to the 350 and they didn't get the sales they wanted to on it .... i got it as my first 'good' acoustic (i'd played fingerbleeders for a couple of years by then) and i wanted something similar to what neil young played ... of course a martin was out of sight so this one had a great tone, etc so that's why i got it ... i love it :)

[Alecto]

FYI, Gibson bought Epiphone in the 1950's. Prior to that, Epiphone made some very fine archtop guitars. After Gibson bought Epiphone, they turned it into their lower-priced brand (the 50's and 60's Epiphones were made in Kalamazoo alongside Gibsons!). In the 70's, Gibson moved Epiphone first to Japan, then to Korea. I think most Epiphones (with the exception of the Japanese-made Elitist Series) are made in the Samick factory in Korea.

I've seen a few guys with 1960's Epiphones: sweet guitars.

[zepolant]

I have a Yamaha FG413S-12, 12 string dreadnought. An Ensenada 6 string acoustic (it belonged to my moms in-law) a Montana Classical guitar, and an Ibanez Classical (my mom bought in a yardsale for $5.50, .50 for the case).

I'm on the search for my Grandfather's Martin that he bought during WWII. After he died my Grandmother was nice enough to sell it off and not tell anyone...good times.

The x25 series are matons made out of qld maple with spruce or bunya tops.

Messiahs are a lot different. :)

I have a cole clark fl2ac on order, blackwood with bunya top. :D

What makes you want a fl1 instead of the fl2?

[Motorhead]

Mid 80s BC Rich Single cutout.

I've yet to hear someone say anything but "This guitar sounds amazing!"

[PattonFan]

I have a Gibson from 1967 that my grandpa gave to me. I'm not sure what model it is though. I've been meaning to take it to my local shop and find out. It's a nice guitar, but it has some dings from when my mom and her siblings were little and messed with it.

[Jesus]

Takamine EN-10 Electro-acoustic
Parksons 12 string

[lakiosbourne]

I've got a Veracruz acoustic. My uncle knows the head of that family and got me a nice deal on a custom handmade guitar. It cost me an arm but man it was worth it! I also got a Framus (???) which sounds kinda deep'n'ruff but's cool for some dark acoustic stuff. And with that I use a Palma spanish/acoustic for more "in-depth" sounds on my recordings.

[Bruce1448]

Taylor T10 Dreadnought....

for the price i love my acoustic sounds awesome!

[Airline7854]

I have a 60's Favilla, 70's Favilla, 1954 Silvertone (Which is truely a horrible guitar, but it sounds really cool for slide), and 1971 Martin 12 String. The Favillas are really great aounding and feeling guitars they were made in Mahnhatten up until the early 80's. I am considering getting a Yamaha 12 String soon...

[all hail moltar]

i have a 19?3 gilb (yes, gilb) classical that was $30 of my sister's money. it's actually playable now that there's a new bridge saddle on it, and it doesn't sound half bad. the neck is perfect (at least for my hands)

hmm. that comes off like it's awesome. it's kinda crappy.

[stratomaster]

Washburn G300S, it was a limeted edition rarewood thing for $350 on musiciansfriend. I like it alot.

[summoner21]

some yamaha acoustic

[b.scott]

-Carvin C750s (Highly recomended, though no one believes me)
-Alvarez Yairi with a redwood topand their funny bridge, great guitar
-Ibanez PF-6 NT Beater plywood, though a bone saddle made this guitar a sleeper (for the price)

+1

My Taylor rocks all kind of ass.

[Shiro]

It's not "mine", my mom's acoustic I started on, thought I play it far more than she does nowadays.

It's a nylon strung classical guitar. It says "Di Giorgio" on the sticker inside, and has "(something) Di Giorgio" burnt into the back of the headstock. The sticker says it was made in 1975 and something about "AMAZONIA N 30".

The headstock was broken and repaired and it's cracked again in another place which makes it go out of tune quickly. But I prefer it downtuned slightly like that..it's a nice difference from my electric. I love how it sounds tho...
I never really liked steel string acoustics..dunno why..

[codeorama]

I just got a new Guild GAD 40 C today... I love it. Best acoustic I've ever owned.

[momo]

Martin 000M with the blended pickup system. Payed $250. Best deal ever. Got it used from someone who worked at the factory.

[deadhead420]

Cheap ass $99 Dean Playmate. I guess its not that bad for the price. It's taken a good beating.

[scxtt]

i have a stratacoustic ... it's not bad - kinda quiet, but it is an electric/acoustic ... the neck is nice, probably my fav. part of the guitar ...

i want a $600 martin that i played around w/ when i worked @ guitar center - it was AWESOME!

[boyscout]

Washburn D10(letters here) acoutic, sounds okay, plays okay

[bowman]

I have a tanglewood odesey its a 6 string semi-acoustic with a rounded back

[r_a_smith3530]

Currently, I have a '70s Epiphone PR-600N OOO-sized guitar. It has a solid spruce top, and sounds great. It does stand out in the mix.

In the past, I've owned a Yamaha classical and a Seagull S6 with spruce top and mahogany sides. The later was purchased new back about 1993.

At present, I am considering trading in the Epi on a Martin D15.

cheap wesfield electro it cost 100 quid new but i love her

[fakeplastic_eye]

a samick. a cheap one. no model name or anything. it was one of those starter guitars in a box. ive had it forever and the sound isnt too bad actually. ive recorded with it before. the neck warped a while ago when i was ignorant about cold weather. now the action is perfect. haha. got lucky on that one.

Seagull M6 its pretty cool

[danzo]

I have a few, actually...my main one being a black Martin OOOCXE w/Fishman Prefix preamp. I also have a Takamine G240, Dean Exotica RSE, and a Washburn that I can't recall the model number, but it's got an XLR and a 1/4 inch input jack. I keep it tuned to low C...cool guitar actually. I tend to go for the Elixir strings on my acoustics for some reason. They really do last longer and sound great to my ears, especially through the P.A. system.

[Professor SourT]

If you like the sound of older strings, Elixirs are a good bet.

[sleewell]

martin DCXE


its a cheap one, but it plays like a dream
