Hi! I made a promise to myself that I'd buy either a Martin (D-18) or Gibson acoustic for my 50th Birthday! I'll be 50 in July 2007 but organizing that kind of...
Big, loud, deep bass? Sounds like a Martin dreadnought to me! Roger. ... Gibson acoustic for my ... money and access to a ... Moon rock! ... the stars on TV...
Or a Gibson J200 or Everlys type... Yep, D-28 or J200 were the two that came to my mind with that destroption... Still no nearer to the decision, I guess... ...
Martin Dreadnaught. J200 has potential, but the bracing in the soundboard is heavy and has limits to a low end. Just my opinion. vp ... From: Roger Birch...
In my opinion if you really want a deep bass response it has to be the Martin Dreadnought. The Gibson J200 is no doubt a great guitar but with a totally...
I wouldn't limit myself to Martin or Gibson - not that those are bad choices, of course. But there are a lot of great guitars out there - Larrivee, Collings,...
Don't forget to mention Taylor. They all sound great and almost anyone can work on them. I know I went out to buy a Martin and came back with something totally...
Ah the Taylor! I have owned 314CE for over two years now. Want another one, just played the 710 L9 model (short scale) great feel and mellow sound -- Dave ...
Hey Everyone. I'm serving as campaign manager to see John Sheehan get listed in this year's Acoustic Guitar Magazine's Reader's Survey. Read more about John...
I would bet that in some areas of the world Martin or Gibson would cost way too much money, not that they don't in the U.S.A. Surely others such as Yamaha or...
Forgive me for thinking outside the box here, but why don't you pop to a guitar shop and get a friend to hand you 5 or 6 instruments "blind" i.e. you don't...
I didn't actually do a blind test, but I did try out a lot of guitars before getting my Martin HD28. I hope the only criteria I used was sound and playability,...
Noel, Story time. I own a Taylor 410 and a Martin D41. I bought them both for different reasons. Four years ago, I had enough in the wish fund to buy a top of...
I'm going to purchase my first acoustic guitar...and i'm very excited...!! BUT....lol....i don't know what to get...could anyone or everyone for that matter...
... and get a friend to hand you 5 or 6 instruments "blind" i.e. you don't look at the label on the headstock or the price tag hanging off it. If time is a...
Fred, thanks! Had I been a resident of the US, I guess I'd have a series of guitars by now! Lucky people to live in the land of guitars! Nothing inspires me...
By tiny i don't mean i'm a kid either...just a small girl...so i don't need a half size kid guitar...just something i can reach when i sit down haha.. :) ... ...
Well you might look at a parlor or OO OM size guitar. I'm not a big guy and the dreadnaught size kinda digs in when I sit. I found a beautiful GC from fender...
I agree with Michael and OM/000 or Parlor would be a good size. Great sounds come from little boxes in some makes. I am not familier with most of the...
My job occasionally permits me to travel across the US as well as Europe and Asia. I don't get to go often. But, it appears as if a series of trips is in the...
A lot of makes refer to "folk" sized guitars for their smaller bodied ones... I think that Yamaha use that for some of their smaller bodied ones. When we were...
If you get to London one guitar shop you must visit is "Hanks Guitars" in Denmark St. (off Charing Cross Rd.) It is (almost) exlusively acoustic and has some...
If anyone has played a classical guitar, you may find that to be the ideal size. Martin originally made them in the late 19th century before switching to...
re UK - in Putney you are close to Central London, but there is a good venue called the Half Moon right there, and the Cabbage Patch in Twickenham on Sundays. ...
I agree with Andy, the Half Moon is a very good venue for smaller and acoustic acts. Shopping... Near Putney... CHandler's - Kew Gardens Tube station ...
