ok i thought i should share with the eskimos my absolute joy... i saved up and finally got the guitar of my dreams (a takamine g series EGS330SC... after playing the guitar nearly daily in the shop i went in one day and just laid the money on the counter and told him to wrap it up[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img] as sweet guitars go this is the sweetest... ive never played an accoustic like it anyways... it cost 650 the first time i saw it but for some odd reason it went up to 699 so i haggled him and told him id been in a good few times playing it so he did it for 650... plus a marshall 30 watt amp and a nice guitar bag all for 750![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img] anyways heres a picture of my little bundle of joy :-  the feel to it is amazing... has a beautiful rough grain feel to it and the cutaway is great for playing up high also here is the pre-amp which is probably one of the best ive ever used  anyways... i thought paying 750 was a bit much but a guitar really gives more back than you pay... |

That is a beautiful looking guitar. I love the wood- what kind is that? I have a great little Martin 000-15, which is mahagany. I wouldn't change it. But I miss not having a cut away like yours. Top purchase!!!

Oh, Im jealous! Its really beautiful. I want a new guitar too, but I dont have the money!! Q: Do ya let others play on your guitar?? I dont mind if anyone uses mine, but I dont know what I would do if somebody took my "dream". I'd probably give them my other guitar. Anyone else feels like that??

Wow, a fine choice there... by everyone for that matter! This is the little beauty that Mr Christmas and co (and a fair wedge of my own money) will hopefully be getting me this year. The lovely littleTanglewood TW-45 DLX FPP *sigh - in a dreamy way*. It's gonna take a lot of busking to justify the £500 it costs though! [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

Yeah he calls it "she" and "her" lol. They make such a lovely couple  Quote:
I'm kinda funny about this. The only scratch on my old Alvarez is from when a guitarist in my bf's band picked it up once (wearing his jacket) and the zipper scratched the back!But he died in later yearsso now it's kind of a memento from him I guess... And when I got my first Washburn my ex and his friend and his friend's drunk bimbo came home from the bar one night and sat out in the garage drinking. I woke up and heard them jamming and stumbled out there and the bimbo was playing my guitar!!  (Very badly I might add, she didn't know how to play for sh*t) He caught hell that night lemme tell ya...And since this has turned into a post-a-pic-of-your-guitar thread...   There's mine. Washburn OG20CE (Oscar Schmidt Series) concert size electric-acoustic. Not as high-end and fancy as some of y'alls but it suits me just fine. Edited by: SisterMidnight

All these Eskimos with such beautiful guitars! We should have a jam session around the arctic campfire some night! [img]smileys/smiley16.gif[/img][img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img] Quote:
Aww he sounds like a daddy with a newborn babe! [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] Quote:
Ohh I didn't know it had that kind of finish. I like that, it looks and feels so natural versus the high gloss finishes you usually see... Quote:
Yeah it's priceless actually, no matter what the price range if you can find one that suits you... like Damien's Lowden. Didn't he describe it as having a love affair with it? And he found it second hand all beat up in a shop but it was meant for him. There's nothing like findingthe guitar for you, the one that just fits perfectly.And it's something that will last a lifetime and bring so much beauty andso many good memories for years to come. How can you put a price on that? So happy for you Simon![img]smileys/smiley32.gif[/img][img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img] |

I've got a Dean, it's not the best, it's not the worst, it's ok, but I got it signed by The Silence (i'll be mentioning them alot now that they got a singer again) and by a female guitarist named Heather from a local group. And if you want a great acoustic (not acoustic electric) get a Taylor, good ones are expensive, but worth it.

Yeah Taylors are good. Knew a guy named his dog that cos he loved the guitars so much. [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]Miss Pink likes baby Taylors. [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]I could never afford a Martin or anything but Washburn and Alvarez are good mid-range acoustics, too.

I'm getting the Boss RC20 soon enough....if you're looking for a loop pedal. I need a decent amp though.

to be honest, you really cant beat an old MArtin! nothing rings like a martin. guitars sound so much better mic ed up instead of using a pre amp anyway. x
