"Gibson L-00"

That is one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen.

Another is this:


1996 Guild A-25 Satin Finish
-Auditorium Size (000/OM)
-Solid Spruce Top, Mahogany Back and Sides
-Rosewood Fingerboard with Snowflake Inlays
-Grover Tuners
-Total of 621 made at Westerly, Rhode Island factory
-OHSC of brown alligator vinyl

I've played it more days than not for the past 10 years, and it sounds better every time I take it out of the case. Very balanced, even, smooth tone, though articulate with less fundamental than a rosewood dreadnaught, for example. It's small body is comfortable and sexy. I'll get some more pictures up soon.

It has no pickup, so when I play it live...I mic it! I use a BLUE "The Ball" mic through an ART Tube MP - the Ball's aesthetics are fun to play to, even though it limits my movement a bit. I still seem to get my body into it plenty...
