I tried these and much preferred the dunlop tortoiseshell ones. The only issue with those is I was shredding them in no time. Eventually changed back to flat picks but can still use a thumbpick on acoustic just fine.

And here's one just for you, Jeremy.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
I don't relate to this music at all but I love that these kids exist. It's crazy to think what they might produce over their lifetimes. Awesome stuff!

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Yeah its impressive technically but I'm finding less notes with more feeling gives me more of an emotional response!

Re: The Acoustic Thread
I've been bottom feeding on Trademe..
Paris Banchetti was an Italian born luthier who settled in Miami. He built a reputation for his Brazilian Rosewood classical guitars. (Muriel Anderson plays a Banchetti). He also made a few steel strings modeled on pre war Martins.
This is one of them.
This one was made in 1980 and brought to NZ by an American who lived and ultimately died, in Whitianga. It was acquired from his estate by Paul Trenwith of the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band who set it to working for its living. It then passed to Keith McMillan and on to the guy I bought it from.
Is it the best dreadnought I've ever played? No. That accolade goes to a brand new Martin D18. This one has the same character as my old D28; the harder you hit it, the louder it gets and always it's saying, "That all you got?" Based on that, I have named it 'Thumper'.
Plan is to clean it up and restring it this weekend. It's definitely player grade but it cost me the same as a student level Cort and if you can find reason that's not the wood that must not be named, I'm all ears.
Imagine what this would have cost with a different name on the headstock!

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Looks awesome, and it certainly looks like the back is made from Br... the wood that must not be named. Score. And fantastic that you have such a complete account of its journey to find you.Slowy wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2024 10:50 am I've been bottom feeding on Trademe..
