Guitar-Case

[Dusty Chalk]

Yup, even more important than electric guitars to try before you buy (or "...before the return period concludes" [guitar center]), since the luthiering of acoustic guitars is an even more exacting/mysterious business than electric guitars.  Knowing PRS, they're probably fine, but I just won't recommend from a place of complete ignorance.

I have a Parker and a Godin Multiac (semi-acoustic/acoustic-electric/whatever you want to call it...and it's a 7-string, yes) -- I definitely favor the Godin, but probably not a good first guitar.  They do appear to have some entry level acoustics.  Taylors and Martins are the go-to brands.  I'd also try Yamaha, they're solid.

+1. On acoustic I like Martin and Yamaha, each one on its own price category, offer good sound, are well built and are nice to play. Epiphones for instance sound good and are affordable, but they're harder to play, perhaps not as a good first guitar as the Yamaha.

Now that's a bridge.

So there was a limited run by "Wired Guitarist" of PRS SE Custom 24 sixes and sevens.  This was several months ago.  They've just started delivering to the retailer.  I got one of the purple ones.

I want both of those pedals

"Yeah, just as soon as you're ready, kid, just go ahead and pick up that guitar and start playing..."

I was disappointed that they didn't run one into the other.

Well, a friend of mine ran one into a fuzz pedal, so...win.

^ ...has been making the rounds on Facebook this weekend -- apparently it's specifically designed for women.

On an unrelated note, I sent out two of four guitars today, so the downsizing begins.  I am getting one in return, but it's a really nice one, and will take up 1/4 less space.

PRS do some nice ones ... exquisite inlays 

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeah, they sound pretty great, too.  This ^ is the maple-topped version of this:

Crazy like Paul Reed sounds like Saul Goodmann from Breaking Bad ... anyways very impressive how loud they are without amplification

[Dusty Chalk]

So which of these sound the most to you all like the 58/15 (pickups in two-part video posted just a couple posts ago):

The Mule

or

Emerald

BKP are one of the few outfits to make a 7-string variant of just about every one of their pickups.

Looks like someone beat me to it.  Seems to be removed from the website now.

dodged a bullet I guess.

It just means I'll actually still have some bitcoins when it goes over $10,000 soon.

aka when I buy lots of guitars

[VPI]

I have spent too much money on two boutique Parlor guitars and found neither ever got played.  Strange size and nuts are interesting to have in the collection, but I would typically go with a Dread or at least an OM if I am getting a boutique guitar.

I did see a Nerd Money ATM in Chicago and thought of you.

[aardvark baguette]

How many guitars are you up to now?
