Dusty Chalk Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Yup, even more important than electric guitars to try before you buy (or "...before the return period concludes" [guitar center]), since the luthiering of acoustic guitars is an even more exacting/mysterious business than electric guitars. Knowing PRS, they're probably fine, but I just won't recommend from a place of complete ignorance. I have a Parker and a Godin Multiac (semi-acoustic/acoustic-electric/whatever you want to call it...and it's a 7-string, yes) -- I definitely favor the Godin, but probably not a good first guitar. They do appear to have some entry level acoustics. Taylors and Martins are the go-to brands. I'd also try Yamaha, they're solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 +1. On acoustic I like Martin and Yamaha, each one on its own price category, offer good sound, are well built and are nice to play. Epiphones for instance sound good and are affordable, but they're harder to play, perhaps not as a good first guitar as the Yamaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 So there was a limited run by "Wired Guitarist" of PRS SE Custom 24 sixes and sevens. This was several months ago. They've just started delivering to the retailer. I got one of the purple ones. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, a friend of mine ran one into a fuzz pedal, so...win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 ^ ...has been making the rounds on Facebook this weekend -- apparently it's specifically designed for women. http://nerdist.com/st-vincent-ernie-ball-guitar-for-women/ On an unrelated note, I sent out two of four guitars today, so the downsizing begins. I am getting one in return, but it's a really nice one, and will take up 1/4 less space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Yeah, they sound pretty great, too. This ^ is the maple-topped version of this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorenb Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Crazy like Paul Reed sounds like Saul Goodmann from Breaking Bad ... anyways very impressive how loud they are without amplification 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 So which of these sound the most to you all like the 58/15 (pickups in two-part video posted just a couple posts ago): The Mule or Emerald BKP are one of the few outfits to make a 7-string variant of just about every one of their pickups.

VPI Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I have spent too much money on two boutique Parlor guitars and found neither ever got played. Strange size and nuts are interesting to have in the collection, but I would typically go with a Dread or at least an OM if I am getting a boutique guitar. I did see a Nerd Money ATM in Chicago and thought of you. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
