NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Have yet to play a Japanese acoustic worth owning. Am open to the possibility though. I once had a Japanese Yamaha that was awful...

What I have generally found is that if the guitar is 3 of these things they are generally pretty good:
1; Old
2: Well played
3: Made is the US

Exceptions everywhere of course as I once had a Peavey (made by Landola) that was a great sounding guitar. Met the first 2 criteria though...

The Band's singer has a Martin acoustic. He bought it over 15 years ago and has hammered it ever since.
