temporary thread while the other gets cleaned up

If you would kindly state your budget.

I too have tried many acoustic guitars, I'm not much of an acoustic player, but my friend is, so as an excuse to window shop I have tried a number of acoustic.

You prefer dreadnoughts or smaller bodies like Grand Auditoriums/ Concerts or huge Jumbos?

If your budget is bout 4000 I'd recommend Breedlove's Atlas series, available in SMX
Solid Spruce top, Solid Indian Rosewood back, laminated rosewood sides

If it's about 2500 I'd suggest a Martin 000X1, available in various places, such as Tonezone studios
Solid Spruce top, laminated mahogany back/sides

The Breedlove Atlas has a relatively bright sound, and very very rich harmonic tone.

The Martin 000X1 is darker, though with the OM body, it's warm but has nice smooth highs. Less complex sounding than the Breedlove though, but that's a different guitar altogether.

**posted here, cuz the other thread was suddenly suspended.

Please don't put Gapnap to shame. I just don't know how do you go for classes with him when you're such a prick here.Does he talk about you being an ass in the forums?

hey mods...
is duckie on a static ip?
i can arrange it so that he'll never be able to log on to it for a few weeks

wow... what happened here guys... the thread was a mess

the leaked gnr is still nothing special.
just cleaner sounding

whoa. thanx for the reply mate. somehow my post got less replies. ahha. hmm, well, i got a friend whos going to the us in november. so thinking of trying the stuff here, and buy there. thinking of something around 700usd. lol~ pity local music shop. hmmm i prefer it to be dreadnoughts i think. with a cutaway. but shape like compass is fine too. im yet to try breedlove. went to smx on a sunday/saturday forgot which day. i didnt know they only opens during weekdays. lol~

owh, forgot to add that i also want electronics with the guitar. and bump to the question on playability of the compass. anyone can answer that? and i know solid top is important, but for laminated back/sides, how does that affect the guitar? someone told me not to go with taylor 100 n 200 series as its using laminated back/side. can anyone explain this too?

gotta agree with the breedlove suggestion. ive tried it and love it. i just cant afford it now

smx closed on weekends? i guess thats cos they have no one left to look after it on weekends.
once they find someone then i guess they'll be open on saturdays again.
sundays of cos closed.

i thought they got some girl in to replace khairul?

lady? the plump one? or got new one?

cant remember if she's plump or not. im guessing she's new as i only saw her there after khairul left. and when i ask things she had to refer back to the price list at the counter and stuff.

oh...nm...think i'll drop by on wednesday after i go get my road tax rebate from the post office there

Fellas, is it possible if i get a Samick mini bass and plug it into my 15w guitar amp and play it? Will that burst my amp or sth?

aiya following up on the pages kena tutup pulak aiyoyoyo

Laminated doesn't always immediately mean they're bad, I've played with some laminated guitars i think it was a 104CE i think, laminated mahogany back/sides, which sounded really really good.
Laminated back/sides tend to contain alot of glue since they're laminated, thus the glue absorbs some of the vibrations from the string, causing difference in tone (ie duller) and reducing some sustain. But if the guitar sounds good to your ears, plays good in your hands, does it really matter what others think ?

Of course there's bragging rights lah, but then again, you can always brag my cheaper guitar sounds better than yours xD of course if that is the case lah =p

My friend has this SX dreadnought, solid spruce top and laminated mahogany back/sides sounded alot better than many dreadnought guitars under 2k, namely some epiphone acoustics and art&lutherie, seagull, and quite a few others. And that guitar cost 450 MYR only =/


aik SMX closed on weekends d ar?
nooooo T_T

Crap. I just found out. Chicago has the HIGHEST Sales tax in the country. 10.52%.....
Eep.
That means if I buy a 1k USD guitar, that's an EXTRA 105 USD bucks....
Hm......... Opfish could get me a better deal on the Schecter in that case......
Unless I REALLY GAS on something big......
