biglappy	Your most prized guitar (108* d)	RE: Your most prized guitar	02 Oct 04
I mostly fingerpick in the living room so I like small guitars. I live in Martin/Gibson country so there aren't any other brands around much. I play a Martin 00-18 and keep a Gibson LG1 with appearance problems for guests and variety. The skinny Gibson neck is good for me cause I have stubby little fingers. The Gibson has a nice treble register, too. It is kind of flimsy. The Martin has a nice feel and a well-balanced tone. Both guitars are 40-50 years old and the Martin seems to have held up quite a bit better. For kids and folks who carry a guitar around I buy old Yamahas. My son has a very fine FG-160 with bad finish that I bought for $60. My daughter has a FG-180 that I got for $100 and had to put new tuners on. The FG-160 is a much better instrument.
