Besides, it needs new strings. I mean really needs new strings.

Sometimes, I think of getting one. The frets are all in the right place if you're used to bass.Slowy wrote:My Baritone.

But then I remember I have an electric baritone and never play it, much as I love the sound.

Re: The Acoustic Guitar Thread
So now I want a 12 fret Taylor. Crap. I can't afford to get into these things...

They were apparently made FOR (not by) Ibanez. They seem to be a bit of a rarity.Frey wrote: Made by ibanez I believe. Yeah I guess it was kind of something that happened in the 70s.
it's called impulsively checking trademe lol.

Re: The Acoustic Guitar Thread
I had one from 1988 until 2009. 1976 Tama copy of the Martin HD28, spruce over rosewood, herringbone binding the works. Amazing sounding guitar, but I hardly played it, just don't get on with dreads. Bought it for $400 and sold for $800. They are amazing quality guitars.

Re: The Acoustic Guitar Thread
That sounds right. Mine is a copy of a Martin D41. Back and sides are Rosewood laminate, top is a really nice piece of Spruce. The inlays are a joke but the guitar itself is so pleasing that I have long thought of digging out the crappy plastic inlays and putting real Paua in there. The guitar deserves it.Vince wrote:They were apparently made FOR (not by) Ibanez. They seem to be a bit of a rarity.Frey wrote: Made by ibanez I believe.

Re: The Acoustic Guitar Thread
Hah! The acoustic game is a slippery slope to some kind of hell/heaven mix, but a 12-fret is a must I reckon. I played one and 3 months later I bought one. Just couldn't get it out of my head.Molly wrote:Played a 12 fret mahogany in Dunedin recently. Stuck in my mind a bit...
Mahogany 12-fret you say? I played a Taylor mahogany 12-fret, just gorgeous, simply out of my price range, and logistics was nearly impossible at the time.
Get a 12-fret, mate, you won't regret it! I'm loving my Art & Lutherie Roadhouse. There were a couple in ChCh RS. Give it a whirl next time you're there.
