I, for year, have played a Takamine EG523SC. What a gorgeous sound...no kidding. The electronics recently died and I haven't have the cash to fix it so my old faithful Fender with a Dean Markey installed p/u is filling in. I use a Korg AX3A modeling processor with the Fender because it needs all the help it can get. So far, so good but every Sunday I say a little prayer that a small pile of cash will arrive so I can fix the Tak.

I play a custom Martin HD-28. A bunch of small boutique shops in NorCal got with Martin and had them make a special model exclusively for them. It is really fashioned after the HD-28 Marquis. It has an adirondack spruce top with rosewood back and sides, scalloped X bracing and pre-war tuners. It is pretty sweet. I put a B-band pick up system in it and it sounds nice amplified. I was not going to buy another Martin but when I played this one, I could not pass it up...

I just upgraded to a new guitar, a McPherson 5.0XP with a Port Orford Cedar Top and Flamed Black Acacia Back and Sides. The guitar comes with a L.R. Baggs RTS II Pickup.

The first guitar I bought and learned a valuable lesson from was a Crescent which actually turned out to be a classical (the lesson only cost me $30 thanfully). In addition to managing to be able to still look at that guitar, I also have a Jasmine (by Takamine) S34C NEX Cutaway, a black Ovation Celebrity CC44 and an Alvarez Dreadnought RD20U. For all my guitars I use Light D'Addario Phosphor Bronze Strings. The Crescent get's attention every now and then. For either of the full acoustics, I have a Fishman Rare Earth pickup (sorry no adjustable volume on the system). I did a sound check with my Alvarez for the sake of seeing how it would work with the system. I got no negative feedback to the fact that my dreadnought has no cutaway or that it's too powerful so basically at church it's just a matter of choice which all acoustic I want to use. I'll still take the Ovation with me too!

One moderate change to all that. That matter of choice on which guitar now also includes another choice in the form of a new Epiphone AJ-100. It sounds good!

Hey everyone here's an update: last year I got a Fender CD-110 which was pre-owned and cost less than the CD-60s (all new) and sounds just as great. Now I have three out of four guitars that are sound system ready. I changed all my strings to Elixr Nanowebs and I change those babies a whole lot less frequently than the other strings I played on.

 

Now here's where it gets interesting: today I saw an Epiphone EJ-200 VS in the local guitar shop today...UGGGGGH!!!

I use a Rainsong OM1000 (the older Fishman Prefix Plus version) and a Taylor 812 CE (also the older Fishman Prefix Plus version). I also use a CA Legacy for Alternate Tunings. The Other stuff is a 9 year old ketchup and mustard colored tweed cable and my handy dandy boss stomp box tuner.

I play a Larrivee C10 Deluxe with a Sunrise pickup through the sunrise buffer box, a trace elliott tag 1 preamp and a nano comp. Love the sound of my Larrivee
