I've had a flick on one of those and I'd give my left nut for one. I'd give BOTH of my nuts for an Angelus

I've had a flick on one of those and I'd give my left nut for one. I'd give BOTH of my nuts for an Angelus I felt the Tonare was to big and cumbersome, the electronics didn't work well either. The Martin will be something special. It's being built right now.

zepp69 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Nice git-fiddles fellas. I play at Taylor 814! Rosewood back and sides. I also have a custom made Strat, Ash body Seymour Duncan Pearly Gate Special in bridge position and Texas Specials in Middle and Neck. Was a college graduation gift from my parents. I teach beginning guitar and Music is one of the therapies i incorporate into my life as well as a good meal, cigar, beverage and front porch time with friends.
zepp69 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Here's a couple pics, I have more but don't want to get too crazy. I'm working on a Cuban themed guitar, I'll post pics once it's built. Some good looking guitars out there! Beautiful teles, strats. Love that old deuce! My dad had one that i learned to play on!
DougB Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Just picked up this 72 reissue. Plays great...shopping for an ej signature strat sunburst.
Diamondog Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Taylor 518, picked it up today, I am in love!
Peacock Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I have a 1976 Takamine 12 string. Guild copy. Copy plays and sounds better than the original. Also have a White Washburn EA-40, Schecter C-6 hellraiser, 1980 LP custom, and a '88 strat. I'm wanting a Taylor, and a PRS....
Reevzy Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 It's great to see this thread still kicking along and people still adding pics. I haven't played guitar in a while. I've been held captive by grand theft auto for a while now. Tried to play some acoustic the other day and it sounded just awfull. Really need to brush up on the skills again
Erm310mce Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Nice pickup man! I love the 500 series. Taylor 518, picked it up today, I am in love!
Erm310mce Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 It's amazing how quickly the chops go isn't it? It's a constant battle trying to find enough time to keep it going.

Diamondog Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Bought this today, going to be agonizing waiting for delivery!

TM-US Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Just closed a deal in a Fender EC strat. Not the older version with Lace Sensors; I hope I like it.
Armaniac Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I used to be a drummer but now my son carries on the legacy. Here are some pictures of his equipment. He's studying jazz drums at school but he's a guitarist/vox in his own band. Schecter Syn Gates Custom, Gibson Firebird, Ibanez semi acoustic Art 95, Les Paul Studio, Yamaha acoustic and his first guitar, an epiphone Les Paul copy (not a great guitar but in the pic for sentimental value ) These are the newest additions. A fat tele (single coil and humbucker, not the California series), a 1974 Fender super reverb amp, Ibanez acoustic. A sonor ProLite drum kit in walnut. I used to be a drummer and have been around musical equipment all my life. This kit is the sweetest I've ever heard.
Hugomarink Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Great thread! Love seeing all these awesome guitars. I've owned quite a few guitars over the years but am down to four now. A Gibson "The SG" from around 1977, which was the first guitar I ever bought. I also have a Fender Strat (in black) that is probably an early '90s model, but the innards are messed up and it needs repair. I got it for $25 from a friend back in the late '90s. I also have a Yamaha acoustic that is over 30 years old. It was the first (and only) acoustic guitar I've ever owned. My main guitar now is a PRS Custom 22 that I purchased in 1995. Here's a pic:
Hugomarink Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I'm also looking to buy a new acoustic. Anybody have any recommendations for something in the $500-$700 range?

Hey mate, Not sure where you are but in US dollars: The two major acoustic guitar companies right now are Taylor and Martin and they sound very different. It really depends on if you like the "Martin tone range" or lean towards the "Taylor tone range" depending in your playing style. If you are looking for something brand new Breedlove is making a great model now called the atlas. Solid top and veneer back and sides. I played one and thought there was a lot of value for the price. There is also the Taylor 100 series and Martin X series. But if you are willing to look at used guitars I think there are much better options. You can find solid wood top, back and sides models, which sound so much better. I've recently seen a Taylor 500 series in the $700 range which would be a great value, they are much more expensive new. The tone qualities are much higher than veneer guitars. My suggestion is to get to one of the big stores and play as many as you can and find out what you like for sound and go from there. See what body style is comfortable, dreadnought vs concert size. Tone is so personal, but a big difference is finding a solid wood model and I believe you can do that in your price range. Best of luck! Happy to help with any questions you have.

Thanks for the tips! Once I get my tax refund later this year I plan to start shopping.
