    Latest additions. Technically both cheats since neither is a guitar. :)

    We set the temperature so icicles form, so it reminds us of our igloos, where we feel most at home before we mooseback ride into the office, where we work with John. 71.6 in fahrenheit, says Google!

    I know, I kid I kid.  It's just so weird seeing that number in a thermostat!  How does the resonator play different from a guitar?

    So, it's actually a slightly different from a pure resonator - it's called a Dobro. It's played horizontally (on your lap or with a strap), and the strings hover above the fretboard (never touching them), so it's played with a steel or ceramic tone bar instead on your left hand, and thumb/finger picks on your right hand.

    If you've heard "The Boxer" by Paul Simon, it's that beautiful twangy slide-sounding guitar that takes a solo. The guy who plays that is named Jerry Douglas, and he's one of the best examples on the instrument.

    Oh very cool!  I have obviously never played one but would love to give it a try.   I'm starting to get the urge for a new guitar.  Maybe another les paul or tele....or maybe it's time for my first strat.  Perhaps another acoustic, Martin D-18 or an epiphone j45.

    Just bought this guy. 1996 MIA 50th anniversary tele.

    Been trying to pick up and learn again after about 20 years. Sold my other MIJ fender to put towards a move and spent $100 on a squire. It’s been about a year, but spent that time trading up. Find a good deal on an upgrade and buy it, then sell my old one for a little more than I paid. I’m probably only the original $100 into this after doing that for a year and buying/selling about a half dozen guitars.


    That's awesome! Excellent way to move up the line. Are you playing much?
    Been trying to more. But it goes in spurts when I have time.

    That EBMM is gorgeous. Is that the “raspberry” finish??

    after dipping into the guitar world, I kept getting pulled more to the low end. So I grabbed a sterling stingray and I love it. Will have to grab a pic later.

    YES - Raspberry Burst… aka my midlife crisis, I got it in June, and am head over heels in love w/ it.

    ‘Dark Scarlet Burst’ with a roasted maple neck had me at first sight. Sounds nice and aggressive ha.

    That is friggin' gorgeous. 

    I didn't necessarily want the raspberry burst, but I absolutely wanted the mahogany correction:  ebony / maple neck and black hardware so it was really the best option available. I originally got the smoked chrome, but that thing sparkled like a disco ball... I much prefer the wood grain look to the raspberry.

    This thing is just thunderous. 


    Traded an OM-28 with a similar finish for this HD-28. Was shopping for my once in a lifetime acoustic when I bought the OM. Amazingly nice guitar but not the right one for me.

    I got an HD-28 with that finish last year. Love it.  I played an OM-42 at a guitar store about 20 years ago and just loved it.  Played one a few times since and haven't felt that same magic.

    My baby. Custom shop J45 with red spruce top, scalloped bracing, Trance Audio pickup (sounds wonderful). I’ve had her for around eight years now. Turns out seven years before I knew I would love bluegrass, I picked a dreadnaught practically made for the genre.

    Sweet, J45s are the most consistently great sounding acoustics out of all the guitars I’ve ever played.

    Is that the Pure Voice model?  I had one of those and it was incredible.  I sold it to get a different guitar that I no longer have.  I should have never let it go.  Beautiful guitar!  J45s are my favorite acoustics.
