(sorry for being excited about it.....)

....or eggcited :)



I wish the both of you all the very best - she's very pretty - same colour?

Nothing like a new guitar! That's great and one word of advice...


if ya visit Randy....don't lean it against his house, you'll forget and never find it.
 
and put a yellow banner for Daryl....that was just funny right there.

hey..an acoustic with a bottle operner for a head..super!..

hows it compare?..what did you have before?

I'm hoping this little puppy will record well with mics without having to EQ the hell out of it like i have to with my others.

I really find that hard to believe. But if it so I'll be happy for you.




BTW, it's not the guitar or the player that I'm doubtful of. It's just that acoustic guitar will almost always require EQ, IMO. Some more and some less than others, but EQ is to be expected for acoustic guitar. JMO.

I agree Bapu - it'll need some. But the Taylor just vanishes in a mix and the Martin kills it! Whjat I'm hoping for is something that requires more gentle EQ work rather than severe. We'll see though!

I'll check out the Aura too Mystic. Might be a good option!

Eggster - take no notice of Bapu - he's just jealous Bapu

According to Mooch.

And in mono no less.

You must put your mouth directly over the sound hole and say, " Mugu aga tani" repeatedly until the creative ideas start to come to you. Trust me, it works.

I like it!

Look to the left, acoustic.  Look to the right, electric.  What is this thing?  Bipolar?

It looks like it's got the same neck that my Jap Strat does. I bet it plays like a dream Eggster.

My hands are stiffening up and hurt when I make a fist or curl my fingers, so I can hardly play my acoustic anymore. I may have to look in to one of these. I've given up the dream of owning a Martin. I'll never be able to afford the one I want, so I don't want one at all.

Although ... I do have to say, the new Martinez models (as I call them) sound fantastic. Especially the smaller body ones. All their HPL (High Pressure Laminate) body guitars come from Mexico. The full sized HPL Dreadnoughts have way too full a sound, very boomy IMO. The HPL is almost too resonant. But, the smaller body sized ones have the same sound as a full body wood one ... and play like a dream. Before I left Des Moines, I found a guitar shop that had 10 of them ... left handed! I was in heaven. The one that sounded the best, and felt the best, was a small body HPL with some cheap electronics in it. Don't remember the model. It was $599 IIRC? W/case.

They even had a left handed 12-string one there. I pick it up, start playing it, and it was perfectly in tune. Suddenly I hear this 'thud thud thud thud' and 'stumble stumble stumble rumble rumble' come running down the stairs. It was the owner, who amazingly looks like my brother. They could be twins. He says, "Wow! You're the first person to play that and I had to come running down to see who it was." It was still in tune from when they put it on the shelf 4 months ago ... HPL made in Mexico, played like a dream.

I'm so tempted, but I just can't bring myself to buy a Mexican made Martin. I'm not prejudice, but I just can't do it. It's the fact that I dreamed of owning a high end American made guitar that was built a few miles from where I was born for so long, that I was actually distraught when I discovered they were making some of them out of the country now.
