@tdotrob : I say what a nice Taylor ! Oh man ! What a gorgeous Taylor !
Choose a guitar ? It depends on comfort and the style you want to play. Did you try a Taylor Academy ?

Today : Larrivee OM-09 with new John Pearse strings : Oh Yeah !!!

I haven’t played a Taylor Academy. I’ll look em up.

I've been playing the '98 SP000-16R for two straight days now and I'm in really big trouble...

I want another 000/OM-sized guitar. Hmm maybe a 000-15M.

Godin 5th Avenue for a short while...
I am clearing my workbench in order to sell it on Kijiji.

Yesterday, I took 2 used Martins off the wall at L&M Edm S. Both about the same price.
-nice sounding D-28, but there were a bunch of impressions all over the lower bout, like it was banged into a stand frequently or something. I think it was discounted accordingly.

-a freaking CANNON of an HD28, if you're looking for one under 3K give them a call. Well broken in, no signs of abuse.

Martin OOO-18...
I spotted a nice Santa Cruz...
I hope it is still there in two months...

Reconnected with my Ramirez R-4 Spanish nylon playing some jazzy tunes. Gee ! How strong its top still smells red cedar !
P.S. Its is my only nylon with mic since I had K&K Pure Classic installed on.

Nothing for 4 days. I'm jonesin'. Just got home. Tomorrow hell or high water it's Frank Stokes on the mahog tanglewood, Elizabeth Cotton on the martin and Frank Hovington on the gretsch resonator!!!

Sigma DR28V. Records pretty good has a K&K and a De Armond magnetic pickup so plug those two into the board separate channel for each. Will add a mic in front tomorrow to see if that helps but it’s not bad with just the two pickups.

Eastman AC122ce : Just love this low end beast !!!

Switching between the '83 D-28 and the '98 SP000-16R today. Both winners for sure, but I'm still surprised that the 000 has the depth of sound the D-28 does.

Sometimes only a D-18 will do...

Spent a good hour and a half on my Collings OM2H learning a ’new-old’ Tommy Emmanuel song today. (called Ol’ Brother Hubbard, great tune!)

It’s always daunting when starting out a Tommy song, but little by little it begins to come together! It’ll take a week or so to be able to play it smoothly, then I gotta work on the artistry. (always the toughest part) All this to learn a song that’s under two minutes long...

I pulled out the Takamine G320 yesterday. Did a little flat picking and finger picked some old blues. I think this guitar likes the flat pick more than being finger picked. It also has a much brighter tone than my rosewood body 1976 Morris W604M.

I will be going to check this out. I found it for sale online here locally and will be meeting with the seller this afternoon. Mid 80's Yamaha FS-310. I hope it's playable.

Martin OODB, then Eastman AC122ce : That Eastman is my best secret weapon !

...and back to the SP000-16R.

Gibson L-1 1928 Blues Tribute : Are we really to part ?

 

[OldGuitarPlayer]

I played my new (to me) Yamaha FS-310 after a extensively cleaning the last owners gunk off the fret board, installing a new set of .011-.052 gauge strings and setting the action it's a nice little blues box fingerpicker.

As I was astonished how well my fretting hand played on the Gibson L-1 yesterday, I played it again today... And I still could not understand how it played well again : I was sure I used to have a problem fretting on that 1,725" nut width neck. So I took the ruler to measure it again : 1,75" (1 3/4") !!! What the hell is going on ?! I was sure it was 1,725" ! So this did cast some doubt on my mind about my memory of these and I mesured the L-00TV nut : 1,725 in. !
Now, I do not understand why the L-OO TV plays easier than the L-1 ! Maybe it is the short twelve fret neck on a peculair body? I have to do one more comparative trial though. Life sometimes brings quite odd issues !
