GUEST,Fossil Guitars..what do you play? (227* d) RE: Guitars..what do you play? 08 Oct 10


1. My #1 guitar, she's a ColeClark Fat Lady 2AC. Made in Melbourne, Australia, Dirty Bunya (interestingly marked) top, Blackwood sides and back. Awesome sound now, and getting better with age.
2 my vintage '82 Sigma 12 . A loud and proud Martin D28-12, made to the same standards in Japan, using rather better woods and construction standards than C.F. Martin were achieving at the time, a lovely old guitar. Spruce top, rosewood sides and back. Was sitting out on the deck overlooking the sea last night, gin and tonic on the table, Sig in hand, thinking it doesn't get much better than this...
3. Hiding most of the time in the closet, I have a Tanglewood TW900 . Not a major name, a UK company using Chinese manufacturers, this was their top-of-the-range guitar a few years back. I bought it off an auction site when I first came to NZ just to have something to play. Have held onto it as it is just such a lovely thing, very sweet sound. I had it professionally set up a couple of months ago and the luthier couldn't believe how little I'd paid. Abalone inserts everywhere, perfect finish, gold Grovers, lovely woods. Comes out for parties and gIgs where no amplification is needed.

Guitars, you have to love 'em don't you?
