"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... |

I have a Carvin Cobalt 750 that I received for my 50th birthday.
It compares quite favorably to guitars in the $1500 range including some Martins and Taylors I A/B'd it with at a local G.C. It was just under $600 new with hardshell case and Fishman Prefix Plus™ electronics. Darn strings do go bad on occasion though ![]() |

My favorite acoustics are my 2006 Gibson Songwriter Deluxe and my 2003 Gibson Custom Shop J-45 12-fret in Claro Walnut. the 12-fret makes a great blues guitar (I wish Gibson would make more 12-frets) and the SWD can handle everything else.
