I've had it for about 20 years and I've had some great fun on it but for the last few years its just been sitting there collecting dust, I'm thinking of just scrapping it and getting a new one. Anyone got any recommendations for an acoustic in the £600/£800 bracket? I haven't been to a guitar shop in years so I'm not too clued up on what the best guitars are these days Well I think I have settled on this The Martin 000-19E I went into the store today but they didn't have any in stock, I played a more expensive model with the same body and it played wonderfully, its £839 so I'm not going to commit myself until I have played it properly but I'm fairly certain that this is what I'll end up getting, I like the wide fretboards on the Martins. I also had a play on this one which is also £839 But with the dreadnought body it is more of a volume/bashing out the chords sort of guitar, again it was **** lovely to play but I've already got a decent enough guitar for strumming and shit, I want something a little gentler for the fingerpicking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 19, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2020 As a 'bashing out the chords' guy, I'd go with the dreadnaught - I can just about stumble through a bit of fingerpicking... until I try and sing at the same time - how the HELL does anybody do that?

I've always been a "bashing out the chords" guy as well, over the last few months though I went right back to basics with my picking, I'm improving rapidly on it and I'm finding that I'm spending more time picking now than strumming, I've always had dreadnoughts so it'll be nice to have something a little different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You watch, I've been waiting so long for it now that I'll think its a bag of shit when I actually sit down and play on it. They have been waiting on an order from Martin for the last 2 months and they received just one of these models in the Glasgow shop so they've gotta get it sent to Birmingham for me.

I'm hoping so for the price, I'm not going into it saying "I'm definitely getting this one" although I'm quietly confident that I will, I'm gunna wanna have a good mess around on it before committing to it, its a lot of dough to be spending so I've gotta make sure I'm certain.

mjmooney Posted October 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2020 I like the pseudo-Frampton best, then the Eric Johnson, pseudo-EVH least. None of them as good as Page's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
