Is that the 3565 you're selling on Trademe?

Or do you have another?

Let's call it even after having seen photos of some of your guitars!

So many guitars; so little time! :rofl:

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

Sometimes, I think of getting one. The frets are all in the right place if you're used to bass.
But then I remember I have an electric baritone and never play it, much as I love the sound.

Watching a few Darren Watson lessons on YouTube today got me wanting a J45.

If nothing else I'm now spending my evenings learning something new instead of idly watching one amp review after another.

Played a 12 fret mahogany in Dunedin recently. Stuck in my mind a bit...

Yeah the fingerstyle Delta blues timing really made me pay attention to what I was doing. Darren makes it look so easy.

They were apparently made FOR (not by) Ibanez. They seem to be a bit of a rarity.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just took a look. I'll follow that up for sure. Did it come with a case?
