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.

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?

HAHAHAHAHAHA
as expected of dragonforce xD

Okay guys, my guitar has an active midsweep preamp (Jackson JE-1550), and I intend to remove it to convert the guitar to a fully passive setup, any idea who can I find for the job? Or even better hardwire a true bypass so it doesn't have to rely on batteries.

It's 2 very different guitars there. But keep your Cort, I tried that CPX900 b4, not very impressed =/
where did you get that cort tho, been wanting to try some corts =p
