Seriously though... I'm not too up to date on electrics but will do some looking around and see if I can find some comparable references for ya...
Wow...see I knew someone with knowledge would pipe in....so my 1200 offer was way off!!!
Congrats!!!!!!! You will have it forever. Nice choice.....Happy New Guitar Day!!!!!!!
Start toughening up those fingers tips with a steel string. Best time to practice is after a shower or washing dishes...pain!!!!!!!!
Prayer out to you...God Bless
The lefty thing might cut it down a bit but I'd say maybe about 800-1200 US??? I'm sure someone else could be more definitive (Like maybe Guitarpix?) but don't let it go cheap; it's worth way more than you bought it for in 72

My first good guitar was a Takamine and it really doesn't matter if you have a high end one or an entry level one, they all sound great plugged. You will see lots of musicians playing them , they kind of set the standard for years because of the great electronics in them. My daughter has a small bodied cutaway that is pretty quiet , but plug it in and it is really good.
I believe most resonators are set up to play like a six string guitar and dobro's are setup to use a slide. Resonators can be loud and really like precise pickers playing them to sound good. I think you would get alot more use out of the Takamine. Please don't take it the wrong way please .
I play with 2 different players that play resonators , one guy sounds great and is one of the best players in this part of the country, the other guy is an average guitar player and sounds much better on his guitar than the resonator.
This is just my 2 cents worth ,
+1 I'm with Wayne. I own both a Takamine and a Resonator. The resonators action is high by design. It's really for sliding. I've just picked it and it's not that bad but if I could only have 1 or 2 guitars one would not be a resonator. In my head it's a specialized guitar....JMHO

I've run my bass (mounted with obnoxious humbuckers) through a 100W Crate guitar amp for months at concert volumes, and I still occasionally run it through a little 12W Kustom tube amp. An amplifier has two jobs. 1st is to amplify the guitar signal. 2nd is to protect the speaker cabinet from damage. Bass pickups don't generate any more signal than guitar pickups do.
I thought the speaker cones were different? I've been told that the cones on a guitar amp will tear from extended use with a bass....is this a myth?
Excellent Phil. Great images. I get chilled just listening like I'm in the water with them. Well done as always
I would not. Get a bass amp. The 2 are completely different. Your acoustic amp is not designed for the lows that your bass can and will produce. Just MHO
Damn good! I love those sorts of covers...that guy made it his!!!!
I had a similar one and yup...that is all you really need to do. Mine was an MMX.. So now we'll be expecting some song posts?
Alvin, Simon and Theodore....Robin, Barry and Maurice....hmmm.....you might be on to something there
I've been using Line 6 products for a couple of years now. I've grown to like them enough. I've heard great thinkgs about Boss as well. I think you're budget will impact your decision more than anything else.
+ 1 with Zurf. It's a 12 string. It should be able to be used in regular tuning. I've had an Alvarez fro about 2 years now...it's always tuned and ready to do. No problems yet.
The player
Well Done. I really like this one alot. It reminds me of some 70's acoustic rock like America or Bread. Boy, that Phill really gets around; cheating on Russell eh?
Congrats. Sorry to see Southpaw41L go but I'm sure you're up to the task of filling those shoes!
Another gem...what exactly is the problem with your recording????? As always, would love to hear 'em. Willing to help with the technical recording stuff if you need it....
Excellent job. Thanks for sharing.
Good Luck...Adios amigo...Your impartial, coherent advice will be missed.
Fantastic job Wayne...top notch. Great mixing too.
If you can afford it, I'd say take "live" lessons. I found them to be more beneficial. They force you to learn at a pace...for me that was important. Even more so, you get to play with a more accomplished player. Playing with others will make you a better player. And take the time to learn music theory; it'll pay off later on...
Just my 2 cents worth....

Oh Darling is the best rock vocal IMHO...and easier to play than to sing !
I much prefer anything from Physical Graffiti myself. IMO, that is their finest album. Custard Pie , In the Light, Kashmir all better tunes. IMHO YMMV. I like Jerome's picks above better too.
In my neck of the woods...classic rock radio programming killed that song by playing it for 20 years 2 times a day. One of many reasons I stopped listening years ago
Awesome...better to be playing than not to be playing!!!! And when your hand gets better you'll be a more versatile, complete player because of this. Way to turn tragedy into triumph!!

+1 Sound advice and words to live by. Play it without looking at the headstock. If it feels good to you then it is good for you
