syxxstring Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 It looks like a shallow body in the pic. Which will make a good(?) maybe okay stage guitar but forget acoustic tone unplugged. Which is the point of an upscale acoustic to me.

Drak Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Yeah, that guitar looks like sales gimmicky stuff to me. Not built with tone in mind, but what will sell to a particular customer base. You can pass that by with electrics, but not with acoustics, AFAIC. I'll pass.

lovekraft Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Guys, it's all maple, including the top. It's obviously designed to be used electric/acoustic, as in a stage guitar, so comparing it to high-end acoustics is as inappropriate as comparing it to a JEM. Anybody who's tried to get a decent acoustic sound live without loads of equipment knows it's easier to get a credible acoustic sound out of a dedicated A/E than it is to mike up your granddad's '43 D-28, even if it is the best sounding dread you've ever played. Shallow body A/E's are a growing market for working musicians, no reason why this is any less valid than, say, an Acousticaster. Do I prefer the sound of a pre-war Martin miked with condensors and run through an Aphex and a RNC? Absolutely! Am I gonna drag all that stuff to a gig at the VFW? No way!
