Topic: What and Where

OK I very serious about buying another acoustic guitar.  I want an electric acoustic in the $300 range.  There are a few sites giving no intrest for 1-2 years.  If we can mention sites here....

Who would you buy from and why...

What would you buy and why.  I looking for a nice full sound not "twangy"

( I need it to cover up my lousy singing  LLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLhehehhehehe)

A semi pro musician friend of mine has a Fender Tim Armstrong with hard case for $200. 

YES??NO??

Re: What and Where

No.  Not for me.  I don't much care for Fender's acoustics.  Others disagree and love them.  It's a matter of personal taste.

If I were buying another guitar and was looking in the $300 range, there are two guitars I would be most likely to consider depending on just how flexible the "range" is.  The first is a Seagull S6.  The second is a Takemine GS330.  That is what I would consider, in order.  Both are solid cedar top guitars with modestly wide nuts.

Re: What and Where

I have a nice Fender acoustic, but haven't haven't used it since I got my Martin.  I think Zurfs suggestion is a good one.

Re: What and Where

the redundant asnwer is what everyone will tell you,, go out and play them all and see which one bonds with you.

Re: What and Where

Go out and play different guitars until you find the one you just can't live without.

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

I have no idea.  But if it isn't, that's easy enough to fix.

Re: What and Where

What Beamer said.....

I agree with Zurf too. I would buy a Seagull in a second. Love my A&L, and Seagull is that much better.

Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!
