Much love for acoustics on the forum?
You bet! Not the same level as electric gear, but quite a few of us.

There sure is. Definately a few refined chaps here and personally, I love me a nice Martin.
I've got a Martin Dreadnought Junior - these are 15/16 the size of a dreadnought but still retain alot of volume and fullness.
Love it and after playing electric for so long I really appreciate the smaller body and the lower string tension.
It's even got the "bear claw" going on (varied opinon on this) - it was one of my few full retail purchases... it played so nice in the shop that I couldn't put it down!

You bet. My favourite guitars.
OM-28 is a thing of beauty.

The second half of this year has been all about acoustics for me. Been getting into bluegrass a lot. Love just being able to pick the guitar up without having to stuff around with cables, pedals, amps etc. My actual playing time has gone up a lot.

Browsing Aliexpress last night and came across a cheap Caline isolated power supply for half the price they cost on TM. Ordered, hopefully it will power up my Radial PZ-Pre
