i have a 79 gibson j-40 walnut, a beautiful guitar i've had it since 79 and right now i wouldn't traDE FOR ANY GUITAR. i also have a takamine custom LTD90 which i use for my stage work, the electronics are just great and it also has a deep finish to it and i had it set up by one of the best guitar men that i know on the east coast so that it'll almost plays by itself. i also have a taylor big baby that i use for small gigs and for playing at home its a great guitar. and my last acoustic is a takamine g series which i have just bought and it has a natural finish and it has a real strong tone just like a martin. so i am proud to say that i love all my guitars and that all of them have different tones and they play great on various types of music. i also have have a yamaha CG70 classical and a johnson baritone uke which i enjoy playing too. after what happened on 9-11-01 it seems that music has taken on a whole new outlook, and it seems that music and playing my guitars and singing helps the heart and soul. bob
