no Kendall, no Joke or troll. I'm trying to write a song and I want it to be conversational so I'm doing a little poll of people who love their guitars about what they love about their guitars. So the responses have been wonderful. Thank you dougboywonder, DonMeixner and John Hardly.

Right now I have three guitars with I love, The first is a little Yamaha Classical which I have owned for ten years. Nothing special a $200 guitar but the tones are clear as a bell the action is nice and for a nylon string I think that it hold tuning very well.

I have a fairly new Seagull "A" series, a truly beautiful guitar, Spruce top Flame maple back and sides, gold machine heads with mother of pearl keys. Tons of projection, and the LR Baggs electronics are amazing I think it may sound better plugged in. I am also particularly attached to it because It was made in Canada from Canadian materials. I'm a Newfoundlander living in Georgia and it is a little piece of home.

My pride and joy is a 1964 Gibson J45 which I bought from a gentleman in a bar. Harold is a philosopher and a storyteller with many stories. He had apparently bought and sold this guitar on three different occasions it had come back to him but now it has a home.

When he first bought it the finish was cracked causing him to believe that the guitar was quite a bit older than it was. so he sanded her down and refinished her himself. and while he had done a passable job she was as pretty as she could be. There was a buzz on a couple of the frets when I got the guitar so when I took her to my favourite luthier Mac McCormick to get the frets dressed I asked him about restoring the guitar. We couldn't tell exactly what she used to look like so I gave him a picture of a 1940's J45 and had him match it. I also had him replace the adjustable bridge When I got her back she looked brand new but still had the rich warm sound of a guitar which has been played regularly for at least 25 years.

I believe the Gibson has a "tight" sound when you play a chord the notes blend into one and you can almost feel them in your chest. The Seagull also projects well but even when you punch a chord you can still hear each note distinctly. is there a term for this?

I would like your help on the terminology. I'd never noticed much about the tonal qualities about a guitar before besides maybe jangly or not jangly have I described the tone in the proper terms?

Thanks everyone
