Winter NAMM 2012 News
It's the original! A Martin! Known for it's warmth and I love it. I can't get enough of it! I can't play any other guitar these days since I've laid my hands on this one! It's the sound in my head and it's the sound of many records over the past century that I've become accustomed to hearing. If you're looking for an all around good dreadnought ...
A very unique guitar. Great for travelling with good quality sound. Or if you're one of those players whose got tons of different acoustics and wants to try something different and a little bit unique this may be it for you. I'd say it's good as a guitar to leave out and fiddle with on the couch sorta deal. For the price, including a custom gig ...
For recording, I think the sound of the Guild D4 is just about as good as it gets. I always get a good sound when I record with this and it never ceases to amaze me how good this really sounds. I use it for all types of music - rock, pop, and folk as it sounds good in just about any setting. I love the sound of this guitar as it has a full body ...
All in all I think the Yamaha CS40 is a great little guitar that is a nice way to get into a slightly downsized nylon string for not much cash. They sell new for $130 or so, and are decent enough quality to say that that is a great deal. I had mine for a few years but oddly enough didn't end up using much so I later sold it to someone else, but ...
All in all I think the Yamaha Guitalele is a great little guitar. I started on one and it has continued to serve me well after almost fifteen years of use and some accidental abuse. Mine has been around the world with me and back, has been dropped, left out, played to death and it's still going. I call it my little trigger and it'll be buried wi...
All in all I think the Yamaha Jr acoustic is a great guitar for someone looking for a high quality way to get into a smaller acoustic guitar. It's not quite as small as their nylon strung Guitalele but it's a nice balance between that and a full sized model. It's a good quality guitar that feels good and sounds quite nice, especially when you ch...
What a breath of fresh air. After years of electric virtuosity, with flashes of acoustic brilliance, I'm glad that Steve Vai had the sense to get his own acoustic model out there with Ibanez, something that had his genius input. His ideas have helped advance electric guitar design, so it is fitting that he is doing it again with the acoustic rea...
Unfortunately Gibson just isn't putting out gem after gem these days. The vast majority of their acoustics I play are pretty terrible to be truthful. But truthfully this one is pretty great, and the price paid was fair. I would not dare order one of these sight unseen. You will more than likely not get a great one. From my experience, 1 out...
All in all I think the Martin D-45 is truly a sight to behold. Sure, it's VERY expensive but it's well worth it for the tonal quality. It's got beautiful craftsmanship and looks, the classic Martin feel, and a very full sound that any serious player would love. I'm fortunate to have a relative who owns one of these so I do get a chance to play o...
I've been using the IBanez Artwood Series string guitar for recording for about a year and have been thoroughly impressed with this guitar, especially considering how inexpensive and well made they are. This isn't as great as a classic Martin 12 string, but for the price it is a great option that won't break the bank. I love the overall sound an...
