Wrong Yet Again

The True American is a tank, this may even part of its great tone.

They say it's all in the ears, but it's really all in the mind, y'know.

That's why "You just can't believe EVERYTHING you see and hear, can you?"

F-212C - especially SB

I love the look of the Florentine cutaway on this model. I almost bought one once but it was not to be.

Looks like a cutaway Terrible Ted would rock ;[]

In a pinch you could skin muskrats with it.

Being wrong seems to happen often to me. Maybe it's just a birth right, I'm not sure.

I've flapped my gums for many years about how a cutaway acoustic can't match the sound of a full body acoustic. Maybe that's actually true but here's what I do know. I have a recently acquired GSR F 30 CE and a NH D 40 CE. Both of these guitars are superb but speaking about the D 40, it's hard for me to believe there's a better playing, better sounding, huge projection D 40 out there that could be any better. I also have the D 40 Traditional Deluxe and this NH cutaway sounds every bit as good, at least to my ear.

I think the message at least to myself is try not to make blanket statements and be open and flexable to potentially changing your mindset over time.

And fairly recently I've come to the same conclusion. That it doesn't much matter what I think and that everybody has an opinion, and a differing opinion doesn't have to be wrong, it's only different from mine. A tough pill to swallow with an ego, but it's a fact. I'd recently mentioned in another thread that I've finally decided which is the best guitar in the world? It is for a fact, that guitar which suites it's owner.

But for how long?

Agree with Iceman (Charlie) - if Richard ever had a guitar for sale and you have been wanting to buy one like it - buy Richard's. Traded with bought from, and sold to Richard. His guitars are better than advertised!!

How about this one? My 1983 D-25C.

This is one of my all-time favorite models. I'm already a D25 fan, and I just love the shallow cutaway.

But for how long?

As long as it suites the owner. And if that bond wears off with the owner, a guitar can find a new owner, and once again become the greatest guitar in the world.

Florence or Venice? Do they sound different?

Ted's manager McKigney seems to have been a cheater - according to wikipedia.

Florentines tend to sound kinda sharp, Venetians tend to sound a little watered down.

I think we're taking 2 different "Terrible Teds" here.

This one plays Gibson Byrdlands with Florentine cutaways:

I don't think this one plays guitar:

Some nice looking guitars posted in this thread. I don't really have an opinion as far as looks are concerned. I'm lucky in that my ear and my guitar playing are not nearly refined enough to hear a difference in tone if there is one.

I've always thought Venitians sounded a little more rounded.

 

[GGJaguar]

Maybe for the 21st century they should just go interplanetary and call them Venusian and Jovian cutaways.

I like cutaway dreadnoughts, they are like an oversized Les Paul in my estimation. Speaking of which, have a gander at this bad boy:
