Yairi WY-1 (w/600t electronics)
was my dream guitar for a while and now it's all mine. unplugged and plugged it is the best guitar i've ever heard. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Y-1/WY1big.jpg |
jasmine,ts58c,not as cool as yours are but it sounds beautiful and i love it to bits.
|
I mainly play on a Taylor 414-CE for my live shows.
For my classical work I have a Takamine EC132 and a custom built Robert Ruck. And now I am on the hunt for a shiny new mandolin to waste away the hours with! |
wow, what a nice guitar, corey! seems to be very good quality! i've got nothing special, it's a hoyer!
|
im in the same boat ... i use a taylor 414ce for my live ... and when im not live i use a takamine that my dad gave me
|
i dig the 414ce... excellent guitar... what electronics do you guys have it setup with?
|
ahh sweet some taylor users, ive been meaning to check em out, well when i get enough coin :S how much do those 400 series retail for?

I have a battered old Tanglewood with a tiny body and a shadow pick-up fitted.
It's temperamental, sometimes it sounds incredible and sometimes it sounds like someone scratching their nails on a blackboard. Anyone heard of Carver guitars, I saw a beauty in a shop window but have never heard of them before. |
crappy balck encore with stickers my brother put all over it. sounds okay though.
|
i have a crafter slimline one, not sure of its model number but my god it sounds class when its plugged in! i know its not a well-regarded name or anything but id recommend them to anyone, they are excellent and very versatile

I think that you can get the 414's for around a thousand USD's if you shop around for a used one. That is what I did. And I am definintely in love with it. But I did have the opportunity to play a 814 last week and I might have to upgrade when I get rich! |

My set up runs through the standerd Fishman Prefix electronics. My 414 was bought before Taylor introduced the ES System. But I run the guitar through, in this order; Korg DT10, Vox V848, Barber Tone Press, Boss DS-1, Line 6 DL-4, Boss Loopstation RC20XL, and then a LR Baggs PADI. |
gotcha.... i've heard the ES system is sketchy so be glad you don't have it... it's much harder to get that uninstalled than it is to get your fishman uninstalled to upgrade...
|
my guitar
i use my brothers 3/4 size blue brunswick. cheapie but sounds pretty good to me!
|
i use some POS fender and a baby taylor. they get the job done
|
Cheez...
I made it back, I had a heck of a time gittin back in...... I'll show my dream guitar again! If I can find a pic of it.... |
my family...i'm planning on selling the fender 12 and the fender dg22ce and buying a martin d15... my classical is a cordoba
http://guitar.com/Discuss/img/100/47...92805-4692.jpg |
nice lineup! beautiful piano you have there... what is it? where do you live?
the d15 is nice... i had one a while ago... sounded excellent just sitting around strumming away... i had it as my alternate tuning guitar... sold it simply cause i'm not a dreadnaught kind of guy :)... |
yeah...i thought i wasnt a dreadnought guy..but really, when do you ever use the frets past 14? and you can reach past there pretty easily just in case.
i hate solos on acoustic anyway. oh, i live in illinois (US) the piano is a witzel. i dont really know much, i got it for free from a teacher from my old high school. i just had to tune it up and put some strings on it, ad fix some hammers. |

I have a crappy encore thing, I've got no need to get anything better at the moment.:smiley1: |
I rock a Taylor 312ce, Fall 2004 edition. The Tazmanian blackwood looks amazing and sounds awesome.
Sometimes I play an old Yamaha classical that my dad got for graduation from highschool in 1974, I like it alot, just not as much as the Taylor. |

Me too, got it last week and i've not put it down yet, just out of interest do any of you guys use acoustic amps or just normal electric amps, apparantly the signal from the pickups is electromagnetic on a full electric guitar and in a semiacoustic it is like a little microphone which means it sounds crap through a normal electric guitar amp. I've always just used a cheap(ish) electric amp and it sounds OK but mabye i would get a much better sound through a special acoustic amp :smiley5: Btw i'm new so hi :) |
ive tried acoustics through electric guitar amps but they are not sensitive enough ,you just gotta play it through an acoustic amp to get the proper sound.and hello to you mr new

Me and my guitar ;) It's a cheap one, but I am comfortable with it. It's had to put up wit hsome creative fixes tho. One of the cog things is pretty stripped so now I have to tune that the opposite way. One of the plastic pegs actually broke so we stuck one some other plastic thing. It's been through a bit, but I like it. I do want to buy a new good one soon though. I'm looking in the range of AU$500 - 700. |
Apologies in advance for this mate, but I couldn't resist:

Hehehe I never noticed that before. I've got another photo of me like that, but I'll post it in the picture thread because it doesn't involve my guitar :)

I enjoy this moderately priced guitar. Got it used for $265.00 a couple years ago, hardcase included.

I'm honestly not sure what kind of Alvarez this is, my guess is that it's a PD80S-12. This is my father's guitar and became my baby once I started playing. I just love the sound of a 12 String, and plus this is very old so its very brassy. I hope to get a guitar of my own soon, and it will definately be an Alvarez.
|
beauty 12 string! i used to have an alvarez 12 string that i bought used but some drunken idiot stepped on it and broke the neck :mad: they're harder to play and kill your fingers but they ring like a bell. i'll bet yours sounds beautiful!
heres me when i was 12 or 13 with my first baby. an alvarez :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1stguitar1.jpg before most of you were a twinkle in your daddy's eye ;) i tried to pass it down to my daughter and she lost interest. then i gave it to my son but he really wants an electric and an amp... the finish on it has aged to a beautiful golden color and it sounds better than ever. i might take it back for myself to play.. i kinda miss him i had a Washburn dreadnaught for awhile but it was too big. i like the smaller body styles too. i traded that in for a washburn oscar schmidt series electric-acoustic and i really like it but i don't have an amp or much of a reason to plug in. |
It does sound beautiful, and thats very sad about your 12 string.
An electric and an amp? Nothing beats the beauty of an acoustic guitar. |
