My boy's been playing for about a year now and absolutely can't get enough, literally plays for hours every night.
I got him a Fender Stratocaster and a small Marshall amp for Xmas last year, and was hoping some of the "gitfiddle" pros on the board could steer me towards some worthwhile gadgets (phase shifters, wah-wah, etc.) that are out now. It's been 20 years since I picked up my Univox and I have no idea what's "state-of-the-art" anymore. Wanted to keep the price for worthy guitar gizmos to around $200 or so. Maybe even a descent acoustic would be the ticket! (He's bigtime into Eric Clampton, Pink Floyd, and some of the old school finger pickin' stuff like "Classical Gas") Any suggestions? Kevin |

I'll stick to my Takamine. I looked at a Yamaha too and a Martin. Liked the way the Takamine played. My budget was around $500. I ended up getting a great deal from a local shop. The Takamine was marked at $749 plus case... walked out for $560 or so, WITH a case....
I've used this with my acoustic band. Two acoustic guitars and an acoustic bass. THe sound is very nice and very true. The only guitar I've played that outplayed mine was a Taylor... at more than twice the cost. So, I've got the acoustic feel, and I can plug it into an amp... it's the best of both worlds for me... but I'm sort of a purist... not very big on effects and such. And... invest on ELIXIR strings. They will outlast most other (steel) strings for an acoustic. |
