Ill have to try some of those brands of acoustics out then, thanks Mike! Right now though, being in my last year of highschool, I dont have the cash, but one of those acoustics is definately on my wishlist in the future.Mike MacLeod said:The 3 companies that butt heads these days seem to be Santa Cruz, Bourgeois and Collings. If you haven't had a chance to play guitars from these companies, you really owe it to yourself.
I have played dozens from all 3. - They are antastic and astonishingly consistent. Frankly the major players (Martin, Taylor, Gibson, Guild, & Larrivee) aren't in the same league these days. With the possible exception of the Martin GE, 45 or Authentic they have not been able to produce a consistently top level product. Sad, really.

so a natural finish on an acoutic will give you better tone?Antz_Marchin said:That is a pretty sweet gutiar. The burst is nice but with the wood tones you can get on a guitar with a pricetag like that one, I'd need a natural finish on a guitar of that calibre.

would it be a good idea to strip the paint/whatever off my cheap acoustic then?
it wasnt sarcasm. I wasnt actually going to strip my acoustic lol....parents would spank me :tongue:Antz_Marchin said:Wow, if this is sarcasm, it's pure genious....(if not, I'll just explain what I meant kindly).
By wood tone I didn't mean sound, I meant grain and colour tones. When you buy a few thousand dollar guitar the colours and defined grain hues that can come out of wood of this grade is amazing. So this being said, go ahead, strip the burst off your plywood, hope you lilke it.
