There's only 2 styles to choose from and they're cheap enough. Both are relatively thick, not sure of the actual gauge.jeremyb wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 6:51 pmWhat sort of thickness would you recommend?

Re: The Acoustic Thread
They sound very different, they play differently. Together as I have said, it's like Finn Brothers harmony.
One is only visiting but together they give me a powerful sense of reverence and gratitude. To spend time with two virtuoso grade dream instruments is an experience to treasure.
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.

Side by side, the two best guitars I have ever played...ever. No hyperbole and no amount of ready cash could provide better. Fancier yes, better, highly improbable.

Yeah. It deserved Godins. Apparently the band are Ibanez endorsees.olegmcnoleg wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 7:46 pmOh, disappointed

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Speaking of Godins, and nearly electric guitars that sound kind of acoustic, but are not guitars . .. . oh wait what were are ACTUALLY talking about?
I've been keen on the idea of a mandolin for quite some time. Made a trip to Alistair's in Cuba Street to buy a beginners level instrument, played a bunch from $400 to $1500 and somehow ended up with a pro-level instrument near the top of that price range. Still not sure quite how that happened.
The appeal of this for me is the ease of gigging it. Alistair told me mandolins can be hard to amplify and I know this to be true from acoustic guitars, so buying this solid body instrument with a really good pickup means I can just plug in it and go with little risk of feedback. Will be playing mandolin on 5-6 songs when we tour this year

Re: The Acoustic Thread
I've been really enjoying playing. The tuning in 5th's is really interesting and leads you to certain places the guitar doesn't. Nice sounding thing too, but I do feel like a little reverb is needed to add a touch of space.
