I've been getting out one to two times a week and playing in some local bars. Open mic kind of stuff. My usual guitar is the Martin. Sounds great, very stable tuning and I don't worry about her. The Guild has so many battle scars, the finish is virtually worn off where my arm rest on her, she's a bit beat up. So I tend to keep her at home and let her spend her advanced years inpeace and quiet.
But, last night I took her out and she really does sound great. The Martin is loud and rumbly, with lots 'O low end. The Guild is so much brighter and crisper. I have K&K's installed in both and use a K&K preamp/E.Q. For the Martin I like to roll off the bass and boost the mids a touch. The Guild almost the opposite. Boost the bass a touch, the mids in the middle and dial back the highs. I also like a bit of reverb with the Guild, not so much with the Martin. The Guild is just a bit dry.
