What acoustic are you playing today?

[GGJaguar]

Connie comes out for some play time!

Good choice!

 

[davenumber2]

Been enjoying my new toy.

 

[GGJaguar]

Mmmm... delicious D-30.

It’s a real gem. I love the blonde on blonde.

 

[Boneman]

They say blondes have more fun, eh? That top is gorgeous too, nice example

Um ... er ... it's not a Guild. For the last few days I've been playing my Collings OM2 (not OM2H--it's unusual that way), short-scale with an Engelmann top. It's silly to say it doesn't sound like a Guild, because all my Guilds sound different from each other. But it sounds great, and the short scale is very comfortable to play. I was initially worried about the compound neck, but I actually find it very comfortable. The only difficulty is that my Dunlop capo won't work on the 9th fret for Lyle Lovett's "If I Had a Boat." Lyle plays a Collings--I wonder what capo he uses.

Back to Guilds tomorrow.

 

[GGJaguar]

Can't go wrong with a Collings.

 

[Stuball48]

Playing my Chris Bozung CB Super with Cocobolo back and sides with Engelmann top. Just changed strings and letting them settle in.
Think F50R.

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Hope your finger heals up quickly, Charlie!

It's fine. Did a three-hour gig last week. Didn't pick up a guitar today. Holiday time!

I broke out the F512 this afternoon... (well, it's getting dark at about 3:45 pm, so I don't know if that's afternoon or night, lol.) I had it tuned to drop D and I was thinking the bass wasn't as big as I remembered. So I broke out the F212XL Std and tuned it to drop D, which is actually drop C since it's tuned a step down... Man that is a massive sounding 12-string, but tuned down it also sounded just a little "loose." So, what the heck, I broke out the JF30-12. Super crisp and balanced and, well, not like the others! So now I don't know what to think... I'm bewildered. A very pleasant bewilderment!

Er what’s the JF tuned to? another thing it’s Maple right ? I wouldn’t expect a rock to change tone to possible humidity changes ?

I put away my F20 this morning and took out my 1996 Martin D42. Really good sound and separation without as much volume as my Guild D66. This must have been a closet queen before I bought it from Gruhn in 2002 and I had it in storage for 15 years until this past August. The only marks are a few pick marks on the pick guard.
I hope everyone had a fulfilling holiday!

Playing the 14 fret Orpheum I got from Richardp69. Just a great playing and sounding sloped shouldered Mahogany dreadnaught.

That's a beauty, stuball!

I've never played a bad sounding D-42.

My slope shoulder mahogany 14 fret Orpheum is tied with my 1964 F30 as my favorite mahogany/sprucer guitar. I guess I should play it tonight.

 

[Stuball48]

May be my favorite Mahogany/Spruce sloped shouldered? Really which ever one I have out - the Orpheum or Bozung Mahogany/Spruce sloped shouldered. You, almost, have to play one to appreciate it.

I did play my mahogany slope shoulder Orpheum last night. What an amazing instrument.

did the walls of the room shake?

 

[Rayk]

Just put new set of Retros on her last night and came up with a new tune . I’m calling it Alone . Yeah kind of sad in a way but hey I’m used to it !

 

[jeffcoop]

did the walls of the room shake?

I was playing finger-style, and quietly, so only my chair shook. That's thing has a serious low end.
