Show Your Acoustic Guitars!!!

[MisterDistortion]

Hey guys I'm new here. I'm not going to be posting in the Les Paul section yet as I don't own one (Yet.)
So I'll stick around here, and I was interested in seeing some cool Acoustic Guitars. So here is mine. This is a 2003 Carlo Robelli Acoustic Electric in Coffee Burst Finish. I didn't buy this in 2003 but it was given to me as a gift from my older brother a few weeks back. I just had a full set up done on it.








Hope you all enjoyed!

I had one like this.. I miss it.

[MisterDistortion]

@John
Nice Collection you have there sir.
Must be hella' fun to play at them weddings. Lol

[kingedb]

Awesome guitars!! I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread. I am gasing badly for a new acoustic.

Top of the list.....Martin 00015M. Nice guitar John! My sights have shifted.

This is the only pic on my PC of my lone acoustic.

Seagull S6



Martin OM21. Sold this one because at the time I didn't play acoustically too much. The fact that I love the Seagull and I was able to sell this for what I paid for it made it easy. However I still miss it.

Takamine GS330s. Cedar top, nato body, mahogany neck, sweet tones:

Here are a few of mine.
Gibson DSM was a great guitar for the value. it's since been sold.
Same with the Taylor 310ce.
In the middle is my 2002 D28. That one I'll keep forever.
And the 2 Harmonys were passed down to me from my great Aunt and my Grandmother. One's a 1960 the other a '61. They used to play together when they were young.
I plan to keep them and pass them on to my kids.
Second and third pictures are of my Blueridge BR-283. Now that is a beautiful guitar! and Awesome sounding. Made with BRW.

I used to be a strictly acoustic player, for like 20 years. Down to one main acoustic, a Martin OM-21 that my wife gave me for xmas back in '99. I love this guitar, when I pick it up its like putting on a pair of perfectly broken in blue jeans. Unfortunately for it, once I went over the dark side/electrics my poor Martin just isn't getting the play time it deserves. I'll have to make a point of breaking her out more.

Martin D17 along with the rest of the gang

She's not a bad guitar and not that expensive. Got her on a trade, they run about $500 new, Ibanez Exotic Woods model.

[Thumpalumpacus]

I am loving all this acoustic goodness.

i find when my playing on electric gets a bit sloppy/imprecise, a steady diet of acoustic guitar,
after about a week or so, autotunes my technique – plus i enjoy the sound of a non–electric

i must admit, it does not help i run hot and cold playing acoustically

Acoustic is a hard Taskmistress, without a doubt.

The only time I don't enjoy playing acoustic is when I'm in the mood for balls-out rocking. Other than that, anything I do on my electrics gets played on my acoustic as well.

right...

medium jumbo frets on all my electrics, super low action, half–step down tuning = after a while, i get lazy, reckless, and less mindful until the "Taskmistress" whips me back into shape

I'm all over the acoustic thing... requires a bit different style for me, but I pretty much do whatever I do on whatever guitar I"m playing.

That's a really important thing, to me. I'll change my style for a nylon-stringed guitar, but if it's steel-strings, I'm playing what I always play, more or less, and to me the mark of a good guitar is whether it can accommodate that.

That's cool - for me, each feel a bit different so they inspire different flavours... even playing my Fenders vs my Gibson Electrics brings a different feel.

I typically run 12's on my acoustics with low action, as I'm up the neck almost as much on them as my electrics... And with my electrics, I rarely play open chords, but on the acoustic I like the long ringing sustain of them.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Well, my electrics get 11s and my acoustic usually has 13s, although sometimes it's 12s. I don't play shredder stuff anyway ... I mean, I have fast runs in my playing, and go for those on acoustic as well, but they obviously don't have same smoothness as they do on my electric.

The only thing I do on acoustic that I don't really do on electric is contrapuntal fingerpicking (and that with not much skill ). Everything else is fair game, though. I love taking songs out of their original context and seeing what happens.
