Thread Name: Small Guitars?
Subject: RE: Small Guitars?
Hi, Doug —
I posted THIS some time back. Give it a look, check the links at the bottom of my post, and see what you think. I use both of these li'l guitars more than my full-size guitars and I love 'em. As far as sound is concerned, they're well balanced and sound like real guitars. They may be a little thin in the bass, perhaps, but that goes with all small-bodied guitars. I've used the nylon-string GO-GW of a number of gigs and it sounded just fine.
When I first looked at the GO on Sam Radding's website, I passed over them because they looked kind of weird and un-guitar-like, but I find that people seem to think they're "kinda funky" and "cute." After one gig, someone came up and asked me if it was a period instrument of some kind.
They're really handy. I keep one of them within arm's reach almost all the time. Check them out. Good hunting.
