The man I am commissioning to make my bouzouki?

He makes some killer resonator guitars, and will bitch you out if you call it a Dobro.

E. Spaceman:
even if that mattered, I want patrick to buy a Dobro.

Patrick:
I played an actual Dobro resonator gee-tar once and the fucker had a square neck and I couldn't make it work for slide OR for fretting. Dobros are basically fucking useless to me.

I've been looking at the Taylor 100 and 200 lines, and I've played a couple and loved them endlessly, but Idunno. You guys got any recommendations for something around $500-900 that plays as well as them Taylors do?

If you loved them then why not go for one? Why waste energy looking for something else?

'Cause I wanna be sure I'm getting the best value for my moneyz. I don't wanna get a Taylor and then find something even better like 2 months later. Buyer's regret sucks in a place like Alaska where you can't even take it back to the store and resell it 'cause the store is like 30 hours away by ferry.

Also guys look at my BUCKLE RASH

I just got a Blueridge BR-60CE earlier this year for $800, and it is my favorite acoustic I've ever played.  I don't know how easy they are to find, but if you come across one you should definitely play it.  I'll post pictures soon in order to increase the acoustic pronz level in this thread.

patrick,

i have a friend who's girlfriend bought him a midline taylor for christmas last year ( gotta find one of those girls right? ), and while he loved the guitar, he seemed to think it was really bright sounding, almost too bright sometimes, and lacked what he heard and wanted from other acoustics.  however, i picked up the guitar and thought it was a great sounding guitar since it sounded wonders better than my acoustic. 

i also have a few friends whom own midline martins that sound better than the $2000 martins ones we pick up.  i personally really like the sound of martins, but i still can't tell how much i like the feel of the necks, and i love the sound of the gibsons and the necks, but my wallet hates the tag.  ha.  anyway, 

the problem with buying acoustics is that a lot of these music stores have those acoustic rooms that could make a cardboard guitar sound good.  they're so deceitful to the ear.  ever pick up something out of a room like that, only to bring it home wondering why it sounds like a totally different guitar?

these places frown on you walking out of the room with the high end guitars, but whatever, if i'm serious about buying it, i'll play it where i want.  it's just really important to pick up a lot of different guitars, even if they are the same model, and let your ears do the judging, and inevitably, let the guitar pick you.. because it will.
