What acoustic are you playing today?

[MLBob]

Beautiful DV, ^^^^ is that a Richie Havens TRC?

'tis. Had it made special order. Also replaced bridge pins with a bone set from Bob Colosi.

Today is a Guild day. My D-30 helped me grieve this morning. My wife, Kelly, died Friday night. She died peacefully. For the last four years she lived with terminal breast cancer. Five different chemo treatments kept here alive. The last 13 months were on hospice. Part of the day Friday included an impromptu jam at her bedside with a dear friend. Today I'm sad, feeling empty. Feeling full at the same time, oddly. I'm grounded in faith and grounded in music. This performance is far from perfect, yet expresses loss, death, loneliness and new life.

Oh boy , so sorry for your loss .

Diana, my cocobolo F-40 GSR is back out to play. I really enjoyed my week having my new D-40 out, by the way. But, I'm a little curious how the F-40 will sound after that. I've even tuned her back up to pitch, as I had the D-40.

Diana, my cocobolo F-40 GSR

For me it's my new F-47R, but I have to wonder how Diana's cocobolo sounds compared to the F-47's Indian rosewood.

Also, I wonder how the red spruce on yours compares to the Carpathian (I think) on mine, GG. Dimensionally, I think they are the same. I wonder why they didn't use a typical Guild bridge on mine.

I have a Chris Bozung Cocobolo back and sides jumbo, a Bozung back and sides Indian rosewood dreadnaught, and a Bozung back and sides Brazilian rosewood dreadnaught. My ears say Cocobolo sounds nearer Brazilian rosewood than it does Indian rosewood.

I didn't play in either of my hockey games this week, and occasional breaks usually ease my Rotator Cuff pain.
While I practiced today on the Washburn parlour, I also played a bit on the Gibson j-45, just to see if I might be able to take a larger guitar (dreadnought or jumbo) to my lesson tomorrow. The shoulder didn't hurt too much and I'm optimistic, although I'll make a final decision in the morning. Worst case, the parlour gets the call again.

Something different today… my new Republic Tri-cone resonator. Bell brass in antique copper finish, it has amazing tone. It came set up for fingerstyle but I added an extension nut and have it set up now in open G tuning for slide.
(some day I might actually be able to play it as well as it deserves!)

Shoulder felt worse in the morning, so opted for the parlour for my one-hour lesson.
Here at home, I can play on any of my instruments regardless of its size or weight, and when my shoulder aches too much either go to a smaller guitar, or stop playing.
I don't have that luxury at my lesson, so these days, more and more I'm taking the Washburn parlour.

I have been toggling back and forth between these two beauties. Not the greatest pics. My 2009 F-47M and my 2023 Morrison D75M ( hog top on the right )..
That F47M is such a class act. I can really tell it has not seen a lot of my play time in its 15 years on this earth.

Parlors deliver comfort and volume in many cases. I have been impressed with several of the ones I've played. I have heard great things about the washburns. I have played Larrivee Parlor P-09, New guild parlor, Recording King Parlors, and the Alvarez New Yorker.. Larrivee and Recording King were the two that stood out as exceptional. I owned the Recording King RP-06.. Two of them.. The bridges like to come up on those. I think because of the intense pull of the open slot HS tuners.. IDK.. They sound really great for the bucks.

I’m heading down to the lake today, so bringing the lake guitar with me! The little red, concert sized, short scale beast is so fun to play, especially for my fingerstyle practicing, that I’m really looking forward to it

 

[The Hawk]

Today, I'm playing the D15 that D30Man sent me this week.. Thanks, D30Man! I cleaned it up some and really enjoy the rich, mellow fingerpicking sounds. So far, I think I like the way it sounds with my fingers better than a pick. The cool thing about this guitar is how comfortable it is. When Guild says 'Made to be played," this is what I think the company means. Rarely has a guitar felt as good in my hands as this one. A well played, well made, comfortable, nice-looking and nice sounding instrument. As Pete Townshend once said, "I stand with my guitar, all I need's a mirror and I'm a star."

 

[Boneman]

That has some mojo, great score from D30Man there Hawk.

I think this guitar has been blessed by a couple members here, and that makes it all the more special! All Guilds are 'Made to be played. This one is 'Made to be played and played and played,' I think.

That's great to hear Hawk. Finger picking on that one is fun. It's super comfy. I'll tell you what, that K&K doesn't disappoint either.

What a fine choice for some outdoor appreciation, Boneman.. Those M120's are super fun little guitars.
