The OOO-18 playing some classical pieces… ;)
Took the Godin 5th Avenue off the hook for a moment (this one is so decorative I dare hang it to the wall), but turned to the Guild F-30 continuing my journey through (basic today) classical pieces… ;)
Eastman AC122ce and Guild F-30 breaking some of my natural teeth on some Bill Piburn’s arrangements : That guy really knows how to throw in barely playable fingerings to turn a simple song in a complex piece ! ;)
I will finish my exploration of that songbook tomorrow… and most probably throw it back on the bookshelf ! :(
Went Celtic on Guild F-30 and Eastman AC122ce…
Postponed Piburn’s arrangements songbook…
Just a mess of instruments about the place as I finally get some recreational playing and recording going. Been on X-mas holiday for a week and a half and done virtually nothing creative until today. The usual stuff I mention in this thread but mixing them up a bit for recording.

Taylor’s 510 and 514ce : The dread has bigger strings and sounds a bit more, but the orchestra is softer for both hands fingers… :)
Taylor 514ce and Collings OM1, both with Elixir nano strings.
The Collings sounds a little clearer, but the Taylor remains satisfying.

Played my baby and now paying the price for it but it was worth the pain.

OO day : Gibson L-OO and Huss & Dalton Crossroads

Was playing a piece wandering over 5th, 7th and 8th fret where my pinky would skip to 9th fret because of the shorter scale… :-/
Godin 5th Avenue and Alvarez AP66 (all-Mahogany) parlor. ;)
Alvarez AP66 and Huss&Dalton Crossroads : interesting comparison. The all-Mahogany Alvarez parlor miss sustain but the strings are almost worn out.

Since I've been off work for the school break I haven't hardly touched the guitar I generally use for instruction, but I thought I should check it over today for use next week. Like every guitar that fills that role, it's getting a little beat up, but it's structurally sound, and the strings are okay for now. The finish is some sort of weird waterborne type that the builder isn't using anymore...you can see why.

2007 Taylor 514ce and 2014 Martin OOO-18 : Interesting how they compare depending on the piece played.
Same as yesterday but with fresh strings ! :)

The Taylor 514ce again AND Eastman AC122ce. ;)
Nice Breedlove. I dig their design aesthetic.
Nylon day (Aria AC-80 & Ramirez R-4) playing Renaissance pieces. :)
The usual offenders here, but I'll need to don a bass later.
