new acoustic guitar.

[DU_stud04]

its about time 4 a new one. i was thinking so me where along the lines of a Takamine.... maybe a g-series.... any opinions about them?

[Gobbla2001]

Takamine's are great guitars...

I'm currently looking at harmonicas...

[vet93]

I have an Ibanez AW series acoustic electric...smooth sound. I also like the Taylors but didn't want to fork over a couple of grand to get the one I liked!

thats the ibanez I've been eying for a while....

[Bullaholic]

How about a nice Martin. I don't know anything about guitars, but one of my highschool buddies had a Martin acoustic.

[DU_stud04]

honestly, ive never even thought of a martin, even when i go to guitar center, it seems like all i end up playing on are either ibanez or takamines. ill have to play on a martin sometime.

[shankbear]

What is your price range. I have player Gibsons, Taylors, Takamines on the upper end. Try a Dean on the low to middle end. There are plenty of great guitars.

I had the one above but found I didnt like the jumbo body so I traded in for the one below, it 1 3/4" slimmer, much easier for me to play. I also wanted to go away from the gold hardware - it will eventually tarnish.

[Gobbla2001]

I'm gunna get me about five of these:

That is pretty much what mine looks like...however, my friend has been playing it for the past year because I have been playing the bass in our Praise band.

http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/0/9/8/231098.jpg i played the ibanez i posted, and i really liked the sound. never noticed it was a jumbo when i was playing it.

i also like the one you posted.

picking a guitar is never a just go and get, ive been looking for about 7 months now.... ill know what i want finally when it comes time to buy one. just been lookin for opinions to see what people enjoy playing.

[Bull19]

MARTIN D-35. BEST THEIR IS, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

[vet93]

Guitars are like cars...everyone has their own idea as to what brand and model is the best! The best way to make a selection is to find one that pleases you, your style of play, your body style, your abilities, what you are going to be using it for etc...

[Bullaholic]

Back in the day, my buddy who was the guitar nut, used to play a lot of folk music which was popular in the 60's. He played a 12-string a lot, and I always liked the full sound it made.

time to go to guitar center, ill probably be there for about 2-3 hours as usual.

[HM33]

Here is mine. I got it this past Christmas, very easy to play. Ovation Celebrity CC44

Takamines are excellent guitars!

[3afan]

Actually mine has the "fire" rosette ...

[DU_stud04]

im finally back....... hahaha

i wish they had an acoustic selection like they carry electric.

[3afan]

Guitar Center at 75 & Southwestern has a very big selection

[ASUFrisbeeStud]

I have a Takamine G Series. I love it. I got it in high school and have never really wanted another guitar. I'll post a picture for you later.

[Tiger Turtle]

I have an Alvarez acoustic/electric with a split bridge pickup and two outputs. I can send the top three strings to one channel and the bottom 3 to a different one. You can do some wierd things through our church's sound board. I am saving for a Martin, though. Nothing compares to a Martin jumbo except maybe a Gibson J200 (if you are into bluegrass, that is).

[DU_stud04]

The gold hasn't tarnish on my buddy's, he's had it for a year or so.... great sounding guitar... natural pick-guard, not bad... but yah the jumbo deal may get to you... just keep pickin' jumbo's up and seein' if you like 'em...

[ASUFrisbeeStud]

[Gobbla2001]

if you're gunna buy ocean-front property in AZ because some stranger on a web board says it's manly, you must really like George Strait...

Try a Burrell! The most comfortable guitar ever for seated livingroom play! Looks wierd but plays like a dream

[tortilla_man]

My roommate has a BreedLove that plays much better then a taylor he used to have that was 3x the price.

[TexanAlum_06]

to anybody who has any interest. A friend of mine has a Takamine G-series acoustic-electric that is 8 months old and has only been played about 4 or 5 times, the rest of the time it has been in a hard shell case in the back of his closet collecting dust and he is looking to sell it. it is a gorgeous guitar, i can vouch for it because I have seen it. it has a builtin in tuner and all the goodies. he is sellin it with the hardshell case it came with and some other stuff unspecified. PM me if you have any interest. The only reason im not buying it for myself is because Iam Left handed! :(

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g115/mexmustangs04/04Taylor814CE3.jpg ive never had a guitar feel so comfortable in my hands. the neck is as smooth as butter, my fingers just glide down the neck. i think i found my next guitar. :D

[slpybear the bullfan]

Martin had a solid top that was right at $700 at Gtr Ctr for a while. I played it in November last year and almost bought it.... great guitar.

Martins and Gibsons are my faves if money was no object.

In the meantime, the Tak will do you well... But I think the Washburn is better.

PS - Buy it, bring it home, then when you are at work, leave teh stereo on playing your favorite tunes and set your gtr in a stand facing the speakers. Helps to break it in a little. That... and playing the heck out of it!
