What acoustic are you playing today?

[PreacherBob]

The JF30-12.
(On the left, for anyone who didn’t recognize it instantly.)
A bit of distortion in the photo makes the F-512 look smaller, but they are the same size.
I only take one with me when we go to Vermont for 5-6 weeks. Had the F-512 up there for most of Sept and Oct.
So the JF30-12 is out and getting lots of attention for all of November.

Hey I know that JF30-12! Best sounding Corona Guild I’ve played. The Corona’s also added a really smooth ebony fretboard and bridge I really liked about it. Glad you are still enjoying it, just a bit heavy for me.

This one still. The BR is on the outs. It’s on the wall. Too hard on shoulder. I will take it every year for Sukkot but that’s it. Great camping guitar. The F30R is the one I play now. Till my 9 year old takes it. Then I need to find another small body Guild

Nice playing!

And +1 on the shoulder-saving size of an F-30!

I played my JF65 a bit today. Love the growl and sizzle of maple. Parts of a few songs I wrote with it last year for our group. Used my phone so it is what it is.

Like all three by it my favorite was the finger picking. Your JF 65 sounding great and my compliments to you.

That F30r is sort of everything I like in a guitar! I thought I wanted a 90s Westerly F30, but now I'm not sure that I don't want a 90s F30r.

That’s what I thought as well. Then figured out I want both.

This morning I used my Washburn parlour to practice my homework (the strumming pattern for Three Dog Night's "Out in the Country"), but took the Gibson j-45 to my class.
I'm not posting photos of them, because they look pretty much like everyone else's models of these guitars.
And I sincerely hope the lack of photos doesn't cause Chazmo a nosebleed, uncontrolled flatulence, or suicidal thoughts.

Some studio work with The Workhorse (52 J45)


And some couch time with the 53 Maccaferri G40

 

[Rambozo96]

My D-35

 

[James Hart]

Ran through some warmups and a piece of a couple tunes on this tonight before moving over to my bass

And I love your playing.

Thanks Plaid. For a while, I wished I had instead bought Bonneville’s other F30, a regular one he had from Westerly, I think it was a 70s. But the rosewood on the one I bought has totally grown on me.

Nice! Yeah, those are top shelf Guilds right there.

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Just got a '92 D-50. Been doing the cherry-burst Chesterfield cha-cha. Haven't been able to really dig in yet, though, because my left forefinger is off its feed. Soon, though!

 

[Maguchi]

Don't know if any of you are like me, but I like to cycle through my guitars over time. So, thought I'd share... And please contribute...

Putting away my F-50 Standard ...

and taking out my Taylor 655...

Yeah I usually play both acoustic and electric everyday. I been playing a Martin D-16 for the last couple a weeks. But put it away yesterday and will be playing a Washburn DC60E Lexington for the next couple a weeks.

I don't find this even remotely funny, RBSinTo, if that was your intent. Please refrain from making any nasty, personal comments about me going forward. Thanks in advance.

Can only imagine the sound your D50 projects.

That particular D50 is loud, and the Adirondack spruce top gives it a tonal cutting edge. For my own purposes, I like playing it best when its strings are on the downward slope, but if I were still in my vaguely bluegrass band (which featured mandolin, banjo, and bass as well as my acoustic), I would have used this guitar (and fresh strings) if I had owned it at the time.

Today it's my Santa Cruz D PW mahogany.

I had one of these. They are great.

The JF30-12 from Corona is a great guitar, I mean shoot, look at that top on his, less runout than the other one there next to it. I got real lucky, the top on mine is just as silky and luscious as that one, but for me my only criticism of it is the tortoise pickguard, lol, I mean that ebony bridge, ebony fretboard, black peg head and chesterfield and they didn’t complete the look!? Oh and then I also love how they gave it the hog maple hog neck on them. Sounds fabulous but it’s a great looking guitar to boot, but Man, I think I need to change my pg to a black one now. Basically I was playing my D46 here, and my JF30-12 today and it dawned on me that they looked almost similar, but not. Same same but different. Got me wondering how many factory models did have the all ebony/black features if you will:



By the way, nice playing, and hey, @PreacherBob anyone ever tell you that you resemble Bill Murray?

Just got out my Chris Bozung CB 45 and will play it five or six days. This will be our oldest grandson's guitar. He was born in 2011 and the CB 45 was built in 2011.

Wow, that's got some bling!
