tombo Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Martin 00X1 Java Mahogany Martin LX1 Little Martin Both are made of high pressure laminate with real spruce tops. Surprisingly good sound from both (I think the LX1 sounds much better than the Baby Taylor, ymmv). The 00X1 I got for a really good price, so I couldn't pass it up. I realize that neither guitar is "Gear Page Approved", but they sound good and that's all that counts. For Gear Page guys, I have my eyes on a Morgan Guitars OM Rosewood model.

RobB Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 An Historic J16OE: ...and a Blues King: Both guitars really work for me, as they're both 24-3/4" scale but sound totally different from each other. I really like Gibson acoustics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamerican gigolo Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 The only acoustic is have is a Taylor 512 small body,non-cutaway,no electronics. It has a very good sound that belies it's size. I am very impressed with Breedlove acoustics,however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidE Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Anybody want to buy a Taylor T5 Custom in blue edgeburst. I couldn't make it sound acoustic enough for me. my 2 young students have about finished their 1st book (hal leonard) and their dad wants them to learn classical. so monday i took the alverez and traded it for a yamaha classical w/ a solid top. then i rounded up 4 beginning classical books, took them to kinkos and combined them in order conceptually (that was a chore, but now i should have at least 2-3 years of lesson materials). now i gotta grow my nails and practice. i need to find my sor studies and villa lobos etudes and preludes from college (mitch?).

I can probably round up several early books and loads of easier pieces to work with and send you a box of them. Just shoot me a PM with your address and what you are looking for level-wise.Edited to add that I sent you a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutronboy Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 This one was a gift from my wife when I graduated Law School. It rings like a bell...a REALLY big, chimey bell. Nice Guild, cmatthes....good score! The opposite happened with me...when I got together with my wife I gave her my '88 Maton Messiah 12 (but I still get to play it...heh) The Maton is quite amazing....best 12 I've ever played Other acoustics...Gilet 00-45, Gilet deep-body Dobro, and the wife has a nice old oval-hole Daion (Headhunter-style)...which is surprisingly nice (the trick with those is to replace the brass saddle....it really warms it up) Cheers, mutronboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas W. Goodall Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 What nice instruments! I want to get a 000 Martin but for now I have a Johnson Summit dreadnaught. Johnson normally builds beginner plywood things but they made 500 of these several years back for some reason. Solid stika spruce top, solid mahogany sides and back, abalone rosette, nice inlays, gold Grovers. Records well and feels good.My acoustic love of my life is Martin 000C-16RGTE Aura. I recommend you give this a try... Beyond beingan incredible acoustic, the Aura does some really fun stuff that really brings out the tone of the instrument.I play mine every day and cannot imagine wanting anything else. This one will probably make me happyfor the rest of my life. I paid about two thousand out the door. If I had all the money in the world, I don'tthink I would bother buying something different. This one waits patiently for my skill to evolve and thebetter I get, the better it sounds. With the skill I do have, it makes me sound pretty good, IMHO.There are similarly priced Martins with more mother of pearl, but the Aura in this model is top of the lineand I have been very happy with my decision on this mix of bling and functionality.

Frank Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Two Washburns. I have an old D13N that just gets better and better. It has great projection and I use it when I play in church. For gigs I use an NV300 thinline. It's a one of a kind, USA built model from the NAMM show the first year they came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 My acoustic love of my life is Martin 000C-16RGTE Aura. Mine too, although has the Fishman Prefix, not the Aura. I have never plugged it in, anyway. Wonderful guitar, sounds sweet, and plays very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
