Let's See Your Acoustics!

[Lucid_Lunatic]

I got this Talman about 3 weeks ago on a trade and have about $50 bucks in it. I was planning on reselling it, but the more I played with it, the more I liked it, so I decided to keep it. The neck profile is really close to a Les Paul. I have put brass bridge pins on it and changed over to Martin Silk & Steel strings. I dig the mellow fingerpicking tones I get from it.







And this is the $75 Simon & Patrick I scored the other day. It's a freakin' cannon!

I'll have to take some pics of the 12 String tommorrow.

This is my Taylor 30th Anniversary 314CE.

1989 Alvarez-Yairi DY53

[Jessie Sammler]

1967 Japanese classical guitar imported by Wilson & Sons, City of Industry, CA.
Bought it from a guy in the suburbs for $100.

[Bludave]

Most of mine are in the link. I have some nice ones!

[GoldenVulture]

I don't have a seperate picture of it so here it is with my LP.
Suzuki Hummingbird copy. I bought it brand new in 79. It has an ivory nut which I fitted not long after getting it. It has been restained and refretted and new scratch plate.[About 4 years ago.]

left to right: Regal RC-51 tricone resonator, Taylor 455ce 12-string, Sigma DM-19 (got it in 1982 when I had my first summer job, this guitar has a beautiful dark sound and sounds better than a lot of Martins. I've done a gazillion gigs w/ it and it desperately needs a fret job, but there's never time to give it up.), top= Fender mandolin (wait... is that a duckbucker? yes it is.)

I have more acoustic guitars than electric guitars. My favorites are Taylor and National. I've owned Collings, Gibsons, Martins and Guilds. These days all I have are my Taylors and my National Vintage Steel Tricone. The back photos show the Brazillian rosewood backs of my Taylor 710 and 810 and the Indian rosewood back of my 910C. The photo of the Nationals shows my Vintage Steel Tricone which I still have and the National Delphi I sold about one month ago.

Very nice collection...

It was an anniversary gift from my wife. It sounds amazing.

[ImmortalSix]

1998 Guild D30 --- Made in Westerly, RI

Weird guitar: has a one-piece flame maple arched back. That's a lot of information all in one sentence - let it sink in.

[BloodRose]

a former Pastor of mine, (one HECK of a player!!!!) had a Guild 12 string that had the 1 piece arched back.. was awesome! That guitar was a Jumbo and sounded HUGE!

Here's mine. She may not be a Martin, but she's got that perfect low end rumble that I love in a good, powerful dreadnought body. spruce top and mahogany sides, and something happened along the way to make it perfect for me, and then fate conspired to bring me to it. She was me first guitar, and I still play her all the time. Good strong workhorse of an instrument. I think she's better than some Martins, although Martin has some **** good instruments.

Here's my old Aria acoustic. Pretty good playing guitar too!

holy ****, do you know what year its from? my dad has the same guitar but with a natural finish, but he doesnt remember when he got it (sometime in the 70s, apparently)

If it has a serial number (not all Aria guitars had serial numbers before the mid 70s) then the first one or two numbers should clue you in to the year. Equally helpful would be the model number.

I believe it's a 1981, according to the serial number.
