Acoustic Things

Ughh... Tatted chicks are a total turn off.

Came here because thread description said "anything with a box and a hole."

I can't tell you how disappointed I am in the thread content after having my expectations raised so high.....

[fryingdutchman]

I've been looking at this pic for a while.

What body type is this, I think it's maybe a dreadnought?

I do enjoy the thing with a "box and a hole"....but her tats are a bit much...

I don't mind the rock chick tat look , but from a loaner not keeper perspective .

[vandeleur]

Actual to totally fuck up ash's sensible acoustic thread with more totty tat talk.
Kat Von d sometimes looks great and other times like she just needs a good fucking wash :D

[ashstralia]

Yeah, doesn't float my boat.

[vandeleur]

All the more for me mate

[ashstralia]

All the more for me mate

You know she'd be up for a bit of council gritter action too, mate! *nudge wink

Fuck we've well and truly derailed this, innit?

Back on track...

My only acoustic right now is a Madeira that I've had since I was about 13 years old.

Made by Guild...has been a steadfast instrument for me. Quite similar to the one on the left in this pic...

[ashstralia]

They both need a quality clean up bro. I have a la patrie nylon string classical which is perhaps the most well made guitar I've ever seen. The attention to detail is insane.

The boys and girls at Takamine use that as their starting point...

[ashstralia]

I put plectrum strings on the 12 string.. Holy shit, why didn't anyone tell me how fucking great these strings are???

I think a big reason I never gave them a look in was $. Fifty bucks wasted if ya don't like them!. With our strong currency now they're comparably priced to the ones we all know and love, not twice the price.

I highly recommend.

There's got to be other people here who play acoustic?

I do, and more and more...

I play probably 75% acoustic these days and I think I'm a much better electric player for it...

I also find myself grasvitating towards Hank Williams Sr. and Neil Young...

Neil owns Mr. Williams Martin, BTW...

Grasvitating ??

[vandeleur]

I agree with E playing acoustic makes you more disciplined it is less forgiving of mistakes than an electric .
