The Acoustic Thread
As I have serious issues with making my mind up on anything, I'll start another thread instead
This looks interesting.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Guess that's why I don't build acoustics: don't have enough scratch.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
This is on my shortlist of acoustics, Mayer fanboy so Martin is appealing.... and he plays an OM which appears to be the same shape, but just be a longer scale than the OOO...
This guys videos are interesting, tortures guitars then cuts them in half!

Re: The Acoustic Thread
These Eastman OM models seem really great value wise, solid back and sides... $899 NZ for the Cedar topped one.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
This is predictable from me but here's how it's done.....

Re: The Acoustic Thread
I shouldn’t have looked up the price.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Yes, these are very good. Maybe Codedog will let you try his? If you want an all-solid guitar, then these are the ones to get to keep the price down.

Recently gave my baby a stylish new pickguard. Stuck deep in a massive niche here.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
No, nothing good ever comes from that. An F50 is my dream Lotto guitar.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Another less expensive option for an all solid wood guitar is one of the Lowden/Sheeran series. Plenty of different models and woods to choose from, and all on the smaller side (00 or 000). You need to buy from overseas though, I don’t think NZ has an importer. These are so much better than the cheap Martins.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Cool, thanks. I did not know that. I’ve not heard of Guitar Gallery previously. Wonder how I missed that?Candeevr4 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 7:35 amSeems Guitar Gallery are a Lowden dealer:olegmcnoleg wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 7:05 am Another less expensive option for an all solid wood guitar is one of the Lowden/Sheeran series.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
I'm packing my stuff to send overseas. I keep looking at my ex-Oleg Walden Concorda and wondering if I should just sell it. Owes me $500 if memory serves, and I definitely prefer it to the Taylor it replaced.
Anybody in the market?
It's supposed to be getting packed this evening actually so I suppose this is a very short-notice thing.
