No I'm a sort of lapsed John Martyn/Bert Jansch-type folkie and a fairly active amateur jazz big band person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't drive it, so it never goes past 4 on the volume but that's plenty. I thought I saw they'd reissued some of the silver face stuff. I had a '65 reissue Deluxe Reverb for a while. The Carr is basically a hand-wired, 40W stage version of that. I use this Bogner Duende for recording. Effectively it's a 30W Tweed Deluxe. The Formula 55 overdrive on my board has a tweed preamp circuit in it, so I can get those sounds live from the Carr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRainy Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Thinking of getting an acoustic, just to play in the pub. I'm a dedicated electric player, so it'll be for sessions only and doesn't have to be anything fancy. I like the idea of the smaller bodied parlour and travel guitars, of which the Taylor GS Mini looks like a good option. They do a mahogany top for a warmer sound. Anyone got one, or chosen something similar in preference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had six, but am down to two these days. I have a cheap electric guitar as I prefer acoustic, A Yamaha classical. (40 years old but still sounds great) A Tanglewood 12 stringer (sounds like a band on its own) Two guitaleles (Yamaha and Mahalo) A Westfield 5 string banjo. A vintage mandolin. A vintage banjolin. I love playing them all (preferably one at a time) and much prefer picking to strumming. I also have flutes clarinets oboes recorders keyboards..... And a long-suffering wife!?

A Ram for All Seasons Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I used to have one of these, a 1968 Gibson B-15. Apparently this one sold at auction for £380. I loved it to bits, but the neck was fairly warped when I got hold of it very cheaply, and then later the top cracked and the insides gradually started to come unstuck. It's quite small like the Taylor GS Mini, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was the guitar they copied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than the Martin I once owned. That looks sweet, but has a full scale length. I'm really looking at smaller options, like the Taylors and the Faith Nomads. Never been impressed with the sound of Martins, even old/ expensive ones, but I'm not into acoustics enough to judge, probably. Lowden always sound good to me, but I'm only looking at sub £500.
