I play a Takamine EN20 and it's only wonderful.I've only had it a few months, and it's so lovely to play and sounds completely groovy played acoustically or through a system. It even makes me sound as if I can play well!!!! ANyone else out there got one of these beauties???

Could I suggest to anyone thinking of tinkering with the insides of there instrument to buy a book on the subject..try a bone saddle and nut and set it up to spec ...then put it to your own preferences...use a chromatic tuner...it is no good if it sounds great but is unplayable Irving Sloane's Guitar Repair is one that comes to mind

Thought that I'd better post while I can still find the bottom of this thread. I play a handmade LoMonaco, made in Brattleboro, VT about 25 years ago. It is a beautifully aged instrument with a fat neck that suits my fingers. I tried a Martin that was in the shop at the same time, but it sounded too tinny, and it didn't project well. Not the best guitar in the world, but heck! Even C.F. Martin IV claims that Martin doesn't make the best guitars in the world, but they are the benchmark that all other guitars are measured by. A fair and reasonable statement.

Interesting reading. Still got about half of the posts to catch up with, but I wanted to get some info Mike with the Norman guitar. I don't know where you are, but if you're anywhere in southern Ontario, you might want to be in touch with Ralph Pickersgill in Port Dover (1-519-583-3940). He does pretty fine unobtrusive work. He uses good quality piezo pickups & experiments with the individual guitar for best placement. The ONLY cutting he will do on a guitar is for an end-pin jack. No batteries to worry about either. A small outboard preamp can be used, but the system works pretty fine without it.

On the advice of a friend I got in touch with him and arranged to have him wire up my custom-built Glen Reid acoustic bass guitar (about which more later). I took it down to him, we chatted for a bit and he very politely suggested I piss of for a couple of hours while he did the work. Took it to a folk club (Caledonia) that evening and the sound was just wall-to-wall even at low volume levels. Simply outstanding. Cost me about $160 (apparently cost can vary with installation). I'm very happy with it, and recommend the man's work quite highly.

If you're nowhere near that area, a good quality piezo system should be possible, and is probably the easiest and quite possibly the best solution. It should in no way change the sound you have acoustically.

After Gibson acoustics got their quality act together again, following the move to Bozeman, I ditched all my Martins bar one.
I had bought, sold and traded dozens of guitars including Bourgeois, Santa Cruz, Taylor, Lowden, Brook, Yamaha, Blueridge and several Martins...in search of THE tone.
I finally found it in the Gibson Advanced Jumbo which probably gets the most playing time.
My other guitars are; Gibson SJ200, Gibson J185 Koa Custom, Martin 0000-36 Custom.
And a Capek F4-style mandolin which I fumble around on.

Brownie played a Martin D-18, just like mine.

At least, I've seen photos of him with that guitar; he may have acquired it only after becoming (relatively) rich and famous. He undoubtedly started out with something cheaper, like maybe a Sears Silvertone or, at best, a Stella.

Got a 1968 Martin D-28, last of the Brazilian rosewood, before which I've had since about 1972, it sounds better every day. It paid off my mortgage, put my son through a special school, and is referred to as 'Grandad'. Love it. The price is forgotten as the quality is constantly appreciated.
Have a 1972 D-18 which I bought for a song, mahogany sounds certainly different to rosewood, just as good in it's own way. Love it too.
Three years back, after a successful deal, bought a 0000-28H, five years old, from Elderly Instruments of Michigan.From USA to UK in 5 days, PERFECTLY packed, protected & wrapped. A friend of mine bought a D-28 about the same time,and it was also incredibly well packaged and delivery was prompt.
Love it too.
I play a Takamine Santa Fe EC-10 electro-acoustic for pub gigs and with the ceilidh band. It's fine.Ironically, it earns more money at the moment than the Martins. Stuff happens.

Elderly Instruments, gotta tell you - Their postal service is so good that I'm telling you all this in case you have any hesitation about buying from them. I love it when you can recommend a firm from several deliveries ( I bought other things over the years ). They are good. They are reliable.
No, I don't work for them.

Got a 1977 Martin D-35 that's my main workhorse. Have an early 70s Yamaha folk guitar, one of the first acoustic electrics, think the model # is FS-110E. Also have a "backwoods banjo" by Dean (basically that's a guitar with a banjo body so it's played like a guitar but sounds like a banjo). Have a no-name obviously cheaply made guitar that I won in contest (when I say no name, I mean it, there's no clue as to the manufacturer on it anywhere). Have an American Std. Strat that I bought from a co-worker and a classical style old (mid-60s) guitar that Sears sold when the folk music movement was popular.

I play several different styles of music and have preferred guitars for each. For bluegrass & Irish rhythm work I use a Martin D-28. For fingerstyle and swing, a Santa Cruz OM-PW. If I'm not sure what I'll be playing or don't feel like taking multiple guitars somewhere, I usually go with my Gibson J-45 as a compromise guitar. It fingerpicks better than the D-28, but has more volume than the OM-PW. I have several other guitars, but they mainly stay in the living room.

I play a G-70 Gallagher that I had built in 1973.....it is a Brazilian Rosewood dreadnaught that is the equal to any pre-war Martin I ever heard in volume and tone.....I also play a 1964 Epiphone Eldorado....it's a mohagany dreadnaught - same as the Gibson SJ-N....and it is a LOUD one....Gibson guitars really seem to come into their own at the 40 year mark...I recently decided to buy a little Martin and played a number of them in various music stores, but wound up with an OM-03 Larrivee.....it just sounded better....I run D'Adderio medium pb's on all of my acoustics.....

Interesting. I just reread my entry above (when I was Songbob), and I don't have many of those instruments any more.

I still have the non-Martin Martin D-28, and the 1943 0-18 (not 1942, as above). I also still have the Goldtone banjo guitar.

But I've sold off the rest of that lot, from the electric to the Kay archtop to the National resonator guitar. And have replaced (and added to the crop) with:

1944 Epiphone Zenith 16" archtop (lovely, lovely)
1970s Fender Japan-made Stratocaster (also lovely)
2000 or so Reverend Slingshot electric (my main electric in Last Gold Dollar)
Epiphone (modern) Les Paul Studio electric (played less often, and currently on loan to Pete Kraemer)
Sterling brand (Chinese-made) National-style metal-bodied resonator guitar
Tokai classical (suprisingly good)
A. Dotras Cordoba Flamenco guitar (on long-term loan, but one day I may buy it; it has a bridge problem just now, though)

... and my regular playing guitar, a 1997 Running Dog C-J Jumbo, in sycamore & spruce (the maker, Rick Davis, prefers American woods, like cherry, walnut, maple, and sycamore, and charges more for the mahogany or rosewood many other companies use) -- it's a marvelous guitar, and I love it.

That's all -- other than the Teisco electrics I have (two of 'em) and a Brownsville electric 12-string, a Regal (modern) dobro, a
Carl Sattler (German) parlor guitar (for use in my 19th C. band, Civil War Comrades), an Oahu Hawaiian acoustic guitar, an Oahu lap steel, and a Yamaha acoustic 12-string.

I think that's all -- though I could be wrong. I also have a few instruments I bought intending to sell 'em, like the Harmony Sovereign 000-18 style guitar, which I kept out of the for-sale stack a few years, but am now planning on selling, and a plain flat-top and a Harmony flat-top and another unnamed archtop, and a Harmony tenor I've changed into an octave mandolin (I guess that's a keeper after all).

There may be more. I'll check.

To be totally honest, being a guitarist for a fair few years, i still dont see much appeal to Martin guitars. they jus seem a bit.. how do i put this..humdrum. probably cause of how mainstream theyve become. i personally own an Ashbury GR series electro-accoustic, and love it to death. tho i have to give my support to the yamahas and the ovations too.

Hmmm, can't see much appeal to "hiumdrum" Martins, but likes Ovations.

Date: 24 Apr 07 - 08:46 PM

Well, I was wrong -- I forgot my 1958 Epiphone ES-422 and my Aria II electric bass.

And it is some kind of mark that some folks are finding Martins "hum-drum" shows how much of a "golden age" of acoustic guitar-making we live in. There are so many makers all over the place, making instruments that equal or even beat the old standard maker, and Martin is not, as they say, relaxing on its laurels. Business is business, and Martin has to try really hard to keep up. So many choices, so little time, so much less money, but great guitars are "out there," so I can live with that!

Even unplugged tho, (as a friend of mine has a martin) i still find them either too bassy or jus plain boxy, i much prefer a brighter sound to an accoustic, which, in my experience, you cant seem to get from a martin.

I have a Lowden O10 and I would never give it up. When I bought it I was lucky enough to have the pick of many really nice guitars including Martins, Taylors, Gibsons, Guild's indeed most of the big players. However, I can honestly say that the Lowden beat them all. It was big, meaty, gentle, easy to play and it made me a better player because of it. It is just the loveliest thing I own and certainly the best acoustic I can afford.

But in the world of acoustics you do generally get what you pay for and the literally hundreds of luthier's out there is staggering and for your 3,000+ budget I swear (because I've tried them) that you can get guitars that would make you sweat urine because of their blistering quality.

But someone right at the top had it right when they said the most important thing is that you're happy with your guitar. It's such a personal thing.

Started with an Eko Ranger 12-string for me and Eko Ranger 6-string for Val back in 1971.

Added an Eko El Paso black 6-string in 1976.

In 1977 (or was it '78) was looking for a second hand Martin and saw an ad in New Musical Express for a Yamaha FG580 Brazilian Rosewood 6-string - sold the Eko El Paso and bought the Yamaha. For the next 25 years this guitar was my constant companion.

Tried numerous 12-strings to play alongside my Yamaha FG580 including:
Yamaha FG312, FG412, FG412 Mk2
Bozo
Fylde Prospero
and many others that have faded with my memory

Eventually found an old early 70s Yamaha brochure showing the FG580 as the then top of the range, and next to it was a sister 12-string model FG630 - same woods, but with a slotted headstock. Spent best part of 10 years tracking one down, so now have the matching pair.

Val was looking for a smaller 6-string guitar than the FG580, and she immediately fell for a Taylor Big Baby - "somehow it just felt right" and it had a sound that cut through and blew away the sound of my treasured Yamahas... so much so that I decided to invest in new ones.

Bought a Yamaha CPX-15 and CPX8-12... sounded great in the shop, and at home, and through a PA... but didn't quite do it in acoustic performances at folk clubs.

Bought a Taylor 25th Anniversary XXV-DR dreadnought, and started looking at Taylor 12-strings.

Next was a Taylor 855 Indian Rosewood 12-string and a Taylor 810-LTD Brazilian Rosewood 6-string.

So the Yamaha CPXs had to go - sold the 6 to a friend and the 12 went in part-ex for a Taylor 810 CE Indian Rosewood 6-string.

And that's where we are today - for performing we use the three Taylor 800 series guitars, but still keep the Yamaha FGs, Taylor Big Baby and XXV-DR as they helped shape our current sound and are part of the family.

Thinking of adding another Taylor 12-string and maybe a nylon string and possibly even an acoustic bass... not sure we can justify the extra outlay just yet.

Hey, Peter, no offense. I just couldn't resist...

I'm happy with my one-and-only 1969 D-18, but I'd have to admit that the single grreatest reason why I'm not running out to buy another instrument is that anything I could afford would be markedly inferior.

If I won the lottery or something, and could suddenly afford multiple guitars each worth more than the average used car, I'd be glad to own one or two or three guitars different from my own and of equal or higher quality. A vintage National steel, for sure, maybe a nice Gibson or Guild jumbo, an antique little parlor guitar...

It wouldn't hurt to get started in the electric-guitar market, either. Then I could spend money on whole additional categories of equipment, into which I could plug my new SG, Strat, Les Paul, etc.

If I were making a living as a musician, or even making some regular extra money on the side while keeping the dreaded day-job, I would have to consider multiple-instrument ownership. But, as it is right now, playing for my own amusement and only occasionally in public, one guitar is plenty, and I'm very, very glad it's such a good one.

I've got a Thornbory Knighton 120. It isn't the guitar that I had in mind which was another Thornbory. I was going to be recording as a member and was going to borrow one for the recording whilst mine was being built. I was supposed to collect it from Nigel Thornbory at the Cambridge Folk Festival but when I got there I found that he'd sold the one which I was to borrow. In my despondency I looked at his other guitars & one caught my eye. Nigel asked if I wanted one like it & i replied that I actually wanted the guitar in view. It had been finished on the previous Wednesday, I collected it on the Sunday went into the studio on the following Tuesday & it was the first guitar on the first track of the album. And I've been entranced by it ever since.

I love to hear or read about people talking passionately about their guitars (Great Thread).
My guitar is a Washburn Woodstock which I've had for over 20 years, and with the help of a Carlton custom made guitar case it has travelled the UK and Europe, I've had the frets dressed twice in it's time, and it has never let me down, (a true workhorse).
I use Ernie Ball Earthwood (light gauge strings), I play mainly finger style Folk/Blues/classical and jazz and rarely use plectrum, but when I use a pick the Washburn responds with a powerful percussive and bright melodic sound, I'm open for suggestions to try a different set of strings any help would be appreciated.
By the way, I am sat here with a 1963 Burns Virginian Pre-Baldwin that I just love to bits!

Well, everyone else has contributed here, so I may as well jump in too.

My "sweetheart" guitar is a custom-made Breedlove C25/k(Koa) that sounds and plays as beautiful as it looks. It was purchased as a used instrument at a time when no more guitars were needed; but, it just couldn't be passed up - even traded in a Martin D28 as part of the deal.

I also have a Takamine Santa Fe (cedar top) which gets a bunch of stage time; and, a Takamine 2001 Limited Edition which we call the "Costeau" - supposedly some of the money from the original sale of the instrument(s) went to the Costeau Society.   

My final guitar is a classical model Takamine "Hirade" and although it would be shunned by most classical players - I'm not a classical player and it's a joy to play it when the mood strikes for a softer, more delicate sound. Cheers.

Thought I'd already contributed here but don't see my post...oh well.

Usually my first choice is a '95 Marc Beneteau acoustic. It was made for me and is more or less one-of-a-kind. Over the years it's become the standard by which I judge all other guitars, and would be the last thing I'd part with in this world (besides people). Spruce top, rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard & bridge, bone nut & saddle, replaced original Schaller tuners with Gotoh 510s. It's an all purpose guitar...ie decent fingerpicked, strummed, leads, swung, quiet, loud...One of these days I'll replace the beat up case.

Got a mess of other guitars, and I love them all (including other one-off hand mades, factory solidbody electrics etc), but if it came down to one, the '95 Beneteau is it.

Peace, Mooh.
