Title: Post Your Acoustic Guitar
Post by: Peter Antal on November 07, 2007, 07:44:02 PM: Here's mine. It's a student-level flamenca by Raimundo with a few mods such as tuners with ebony buttons, bone nut and saddle, and ultra-low action. :)

Yamaha DW-10, don't know a thing about it, but it blew away the other acoustics in the shop. Got such a nice bright and punchy tone, recently opened up like an awesome thing. So cool.

I love my acoustic, if i could play only one guitar from now on it might be my acoustic. It needs a name though.

Post by: Jonesy76 on November 08, 2007, 09:33:32 AM: I play acoustic in all my own gigs (the electrics come out for when I play with others) as it's just me, the acoustic and nothing else. Live music with no saftey net :D

I love the playability of Taylors but don't like the sound, whilst I love the sound of Martins but have yet to find one that I can happily play for a 4 hour gig!

This is what I found as the best of both worlds

It's a Limited Edition Larrivee LV-19E with the blender on-board electrics so it's wonderfully plug and play straight into the PA. That's a solid Rosewood back and sides too which gives it a trully mammoth open acoustic sound. :D

Post by: Philly Q on November 08, 2007, 11:54:53 AM: Like Twinfan, I don't have a pic of my own guitar, but here's a "stock photo" (as they say on eBay).

I have a Lakewood D-1, pretty much identical to this D-14 but with different tuners:

Yam APX4 A electro acoustic. Served me very well over many years of open mic nights - excellent guitar for the small amount of money I paid for it.

Post by: WezV on November 08, 2007, 08:54:38 PM: well as some of you may have guessed i made mine myself!!!

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e31/WezV/ac1.jpg)
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e31/WezV/ac2.jpg)

It was from one of these kits - the bolt-on rosewood model
http://www.stewmac.com/cgi-bin/hazel.cgi?action=SERVE&G=1&sku=5295&ITEM=catalog/sku.html&CURRENCY=GBP

The current price of those is killing me!!

It was a few years ago now and was slightly rushed and has a few errors on it - i had particular problems with the binding on it because i had never bound owt that wasnt flat before. Anyway - a quick oil an wax finish and it was ready to play...... except it wasnt. It sounded dull and lifeless for around 3 months then jumped to life.

It has an incredibly poweful sound thanks to the nearly non-existent finish - although i think it may have been some tackiness in the oil that kept it dull for a few months, as well as needing a good break in.

I dont do much acoustic stuff but want to practice some of the techniques to get them into my electric stuff and i would love to do a proper posh archtop at some point!!

Post by: mecca777 on November 09, 2007, 12:06:07 AM: I don't have a photo of my acoustic guitars, but here's a picture of somebody else's Washburn R305S which looks just like mine:

(http://www.i-soft.co.uk/bluesouth/PICT2245.JPG)

I bought this when I was (very) briefly playing in an acoustic duo with a friend; it's got a low action and a very punchy sound, perfect for fingerpicking. I also have a '70s Cimar copy of a Gibson Hummingbird which currently lives at my brother's house for songwriting and demoing purposes. Googled picture of an identical guitar:

(http://www.vintage-guitars.se/1970s_Cimar_Hummingbird-copy_80585.jpg)

Both of my acoustics were cheap, cheerful impulse purchases which have served me well over the years; but I'm not much of an acoustic player to be honest, and they only come out at parties these days.

Post by: Dakine on November 10, 2007, 03:41:18 AM: adjective 1 relating to sound or hearing. 2 (of popular music or musical instruments) not having electrical amplification

and as it does NOT need electric amplification :P

:twisted:
Title: Post Your Acoustic Guitar
Post by: Jonesy76 on November 10, 2007, 03:24:17 PM: I used to have an Ovation, but as I play sitting down all the time I got fed up with the infernal thing sliding off my thigh. Plugged in it did sound amazing, but it was like a little boy lost at a proper acoustic jam session without any amplifiers anywhere in sight.

I like those Dean acoustics too. I played one of those FM's once and it had a lovely neck for an acoustic, but I prefer the bigger, warmer sound of Rosewood over the trebley sound of maple. I'm a Bass Baritone singer so I need something with enough kick to get over the huge volume of my voice.

Post by: mikeluke on November 16, 2007, 09:43:11 AM: Again - a stock photo of my Ovation Legend - as to acoustic sound - it is fantastic 'unplugged' - as it is an old one the onboard electrics are not brilliant but construction is great.

And I picked it up for £180.........

Title: Post Your Acoustic Guitar
Post by: kevincurtis on November 16, 2007, 05:01:00 PM: Thanks - it is one of mine :) I wanted to do an acoustic rock type thing inspired by early Zep and The Who 'cos I love the power an acoustic can have. The Taylor is lovely, nice even tone, and a great neck, not too dissimilar to electrics. I can see why some people think they are a little clinical, but makes it easy to record (well mostly!)
