Hello everyone -
New user and I'm trying to make a decision -
I've been running all over town trying out a many guitars as I can - My primary guitar is a guild GAD-30, which I absolutely love. But I'm looking for something a bit bigger for gigging, travel, and playing live. (Primarily I dont wanna take my GAD-30 anywhere, and as it doesnt have a pick up, and I dont have a set up to run a mike, it makes it a little harder for those purposes.)
My eye keeps getting drawn to the DS-240 Memoir. I love the look - it reminds me slightly of the Orpheum Slope shoulders I would never be able to afford even if I could find one. But I've never gotten to play a slope shoulder dread, and once again it's lacking a pick up (My though is to Pick up an L.R. Baggs Lyric, but that's also adding about 200 to this project. )
My other option is a local shop has a really nice sounding D-260ce. I've played it, I like it. and I've enjoyed the new westerly Archbacks when I've played them. And the pick up is all ready installed, ready to go. Just gotta get it set up and we can roll out.
Do you all have thoughts / opinions on the two guitars? Most of my gigging will be just me - I play some irish folk locally and sit in with sessions from time to time.
