Ebbie, I have a CD that came bundled with (I think) Acoustic Guitar Magazine that showcases a number of guitarists (including the great Phil Keaggy) playing McPhersons, and they all sound awesome. Not that that proves they're awesome guitars. But they sure are expensive.

Hi,
Got a DAIMARU SEMI HOLLOW BODY ELECTRIC . REAL NICE OLD VINTAGE MODEL.
I KNOW ABOUT THE STORE AND ALL THAT STUFF BUT I WAS WANTING TO SEE DIFFERENT MODELS AND SOME SORT OF PRICE LIST OR SUBJECT.
AND I REALLY DONT NEED THE SMART MOUTH GUY TO SAY TAKE A AXE TO IT BECAUSE HE IS JUST SHOWING HIS AGE .
THANKS
DAVE

Wow. You guys are great.

Wes, I believe it was probably a McPherson rather than a Tacoma. I don't remember the soundhole being up that far on the shoulder. What struck me was how close it was to the edge of the belly. Striking. Made me wonder about its tone. Has either of you heard one?

Wes,

I've played a papoose several times. I think it is way to lightly built for much of anything but parlor playing. I'd find a Taylor 213.

I'm kinda interested in those Papoose's myself. It's really tempting as a travel guitar. I haven't seen Vince Gill endorse either brand myself but if you've seen him in a Tacoma ad then that's probably the one.

Yeah Wes, and I might guess Tacoma first. He's been used in an ad or two for the company.

I'm going to guess a Tacoma or a McPherson { ? } just going from your description. I didn't see it myself but both makers have been popular in Nashville.

Last night I saw part of a Vince Gill special. In one of the segments he played an acoustic jumbo-sized, cutaway guitar with the soundhole close to the up side (the upper bout?)

What kind? I presume it was made for him, but who would be the maker?
