Best Acoustic Guitar?

[theARTiSAN]

Everybody's got a favorite -
I love high-end Takamine and Alvarez.
I presently own an Alvarez electric-acoustic. She's my baybey:thumbsup:

How about you?

Hey, I have owned a few acoustics including Gibson and Fender but I recently bought a Seagull electric acoustic. It is an absolute beaut!
Beats any other I've had by a long shot.

Accoustics are like shoes, once you get a comfortable pair nothing esle stacks up. I have several guitars , Gibson DOve, Ovations, Martin, Taylor and soon an Olson (another 4 months to wait, its been 16 months), every guitar sounds different and play different, I also have a TAC, paid 245.00 for it plays like a dream. So to answer your guestion, plan to own a few and play every brand you will know when the shoe fits.

I once did a roadie Job for john denver and got to know his guitar tech and was shown some taylor guitars. Since then I haven't played anything better. There are martins that come close and some Matons (patriotism here). Bang for buck matons are great value, but if you have US$ or Euros get a martin or taylor...

Mine is an old Yamaha 12 string..I've had it for years and it fits me like a glove.It is one of the warmest guitars I've heard and the feel is perfect...

Well, speaking from my guitarist boyfriend's point of view...he says he likes his Maton and Gibson (Les Paul). But as far as I'm concerned, what would a drummer know about guitars?!!!

[kip37]

i have an ovation and the tone and sound is brilliant god bless the inventor. i also play an fender strat for ease both play like a dream

[mushroom]

i have a seagul acoustic which is just fantastic. Many hours in shops comparing matons to this canadian guitar and it stands out and as a bonus is more affordable, that is until seaguls become known in oz!!!

[mushroom]

i also have a godin electric which simulates acoustic guitar and it does it pretty well. The early godins were better at that though.... just my opinion.

[ibanez270]

I have a Tacoma EM-10CE2
I love it!

[danny715]

I can't afford a dedicated electro-acoustic guitar amp so I have to put it through the P.A. Out of the 4 guitars I have the takamine sounds most natural when amplified - plus it's lovely to play.

[adougster]

I play a fender acoustic but I'd LOVE a Lowden.

[master mcgrath]

A small Martin New Yorker - NY016. Surprisingly loud for its size, it records brilliantly

[rai999]

Anyone use an archtop guitar at all? I have an Epiphone Olympic from the 1930's. Amazing sound. I also own a Korean Mountain semi-acoustic jazz guitar, which was cheap, but sounds like nothing else I have ever heard. Brands are one thing, but sometimes there are freaky instruments just waiting to be found.

I've got this classical Martin that my mom bought in 1970, and it's been sitting in a box for decades so it's still in great condition... sounds amazing!

[gmusic02]

i bought a taylor 314ce a couple of months ago, my first high end acoustic, replacing my mid end ovation. i can't praise this guitar enough. it's got a warmth, clarity and great tone. i use it on my weekly show at the thunderbird. love it. love it.

I have an ovation which is quite nice

But my favourite which i am getting is the Yamaha APXT-1N. It's the size of an electric , but it's electro acoustic and it's really nice to play

[jejune]

The BEST guitar is whatever feels and sounds best TO YOU regardless of other people's opinions. Use your ears.

[jessicag]

Maton and Takamini for sure!

I have a ****ty sounding cute little bright blue Ibinez but would much rather own one of these.

[mellachi]

I currently own a Seagull s6+ Burst and it totally rocks!!! nice sound!

[Ronny]

You're quite right jejune but it helps to hear others opinions as well. Someone in this board may just give you the incentive to try something different. I would never have bought my seagull if I hadn't listened to an opinion about it!!

[evansst]

I had a Samick 6 string acoustic with a cutaway. I slapped some medium Tomastik strings on it and I have never had a better feel on a guitar like it... Unfortunately it sounded very tinny and the neck was slightly twisted.... got rid of it because it wouldn't stay tuned up for more than 5 minutes :mad:

[beaster]

TRY a taylor. And get on their website!!

[Pol]

Martin...the expensive ones

[gnr2k3]

I was kinda partial to the Ibanez JX70 Acoustic/Electric...

[AlstrCrwly666]

I have a 1979 Ovation thunderbolt that I adore and an alvarez cutaway that I love as well.

[bad99boy]

Taylor!

[G-man]

I have a Martin and a couple of Gibson's (a Dove and a custom Hummingbird the latter is one of my all-time faves ...just a beautiful and incredible sounding guitar) and this old custom Spanish made classical that rocks!

[snarl16]

martin

[strat]

Takamine EF 325 cutaway model ...

[supplanter]

i love Taylors. :D

[saxmidiman]

Played both Martins and Takamines. High end Martins have the edge. Ovations have a tendency to crack. The weather conditions where I live are pretty brutal.

[BLISS]

I've used and abused a few acoustics over the yaers but the sweetest sound live has to be a LOWDEN. Hand made in Ireland. so if you don't have any Irish in you, do ya want some?

[XxNaSDaQxX]

Gibson and Fenders all the way.
Fav style is the Sg

I own 3 acoustics and 3 electrics. Acoustics are all fenders, the electrics are a Les paul and Sgs.

[toshi]

Squier Fender Stratocaster Affinity Strat! :p Because I'm going to buy that one! :D

[alain]

i have a 25-year old Morris W713 and a Martin Dm.
Especially the Morris-guitar ( don't even know if they still make them) is a beauty.
What i want : Taylor

[evanescent]

Martin or Taylor

I was kinda partial to the Ibanez JX70 Acoustic/Electric

That's what I have!!! And a 1970 something Martin D28, not sure of the exact year cuz it's actually my dad's but i play it more than him.

[davph30]

I own a Lowden so Id truthfully say Lowdens are best

Yes, Martin.

I practice with a Takamine electric classical, nylon-string,
cut-away ( EC- 132sc) it's nice for finger picking songs my steel strings would never let me play. Nice wide spacing between strings. An hour messing about on it and the banjo-rolls on the electric at gigs just melt like BUDDA.........
