What is the "Ultimate" Acoustic 2U?

[TexMexMike]

So....Let's say you just won the lotto...........Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....A new acoustic guitar is in order........In search of the "Holy Grail"....What would you get? A custom perhaps??? Tell us about your ultimate guitar!!! And what makes it the "Holy Grail" for you!!!

[nothin but the blues]

Martin Pre-war OM-45, or OM-42 (and as soon as I have a few hundred grand kicking around, I'll own one!) Nuff said :thumbsup:

[TexMexMike]

I'd have to "DITTO" your selections......And add a pre war 000-28 for me!

[nothin but the blues]

Well of course the 000-28, after all you would need a stage instrument haha! :thumbsup: :bannana_g

Well im going to be the oddball here, but I usually am.... For me. It would be a Kramer Ferrington made by Danny Ferrington. OR. the Kramer AX series thats an explorer body thinline acoustic. Both were somewhat limited production but have the necks that I so dearly love.
so. go ahead and laff. Im used to it. lol :nod:

Oooo... I had one of those Kramer Ferringtons when they first came out sometime in the eighties. Black Tele-shaped body and a hockey-stick headstock. It was a darn poor Acu/electric but it did have a great neck & board.

My selection.... hmmmm.

As much as I appreciate the quality and sound of Martins & Taylors there has always been a soft spot in my heart for maple Jumbos. I guess for me it would hafta be either a Guild or Gibby Jumbo in maple with lotsa abalone.


... and my name inlaid in abalone script on the headstock.

LOL!!!

I guess my "Ultimate" guitar would include my name inlaid in abalone on the fret boardl!!! That idea didn't even cross my mind...GOOD ONE!!!

Just wish I was "That good!" We are all allowed to dream. Right?

I will post my "Holy Grail Custom" when we get a few more.............Keep the comments coming!

[WireNWood]

Mike... man... reality check.

For that kinda stuff you dont' hafta be good - just rich.

i really like nbtb's bella nezra, (or soon to be) man that thing is gorgeous the sessions dvd shows it off very well!

i would have to say a 56-59ish original strat would rate VERY high, blackie/srv #1 era type guitar

i wouldnt mind a really nice 58 or so les paul either....

i cant pick just one :rock-guit

[TexMexMike]

Yup...NBTB's Belle....comes $#@! close!!!

I do love the old Guilds... great guitars... not sure how the new ones compare... That being said, I do love vintage instruments, however, I recently bought a Takamine acoustic/electric with the cool tube preamp, and I absolutely love it... it is a dream for recording, and sounds great unplugged as well, so that is my choice at this point in time... I love the old instruments, but the 2 I bought new this past year are both very cool, and I do not regret buying new this time around... :coolgleam

[x-180]

Whatever Paul Simon was playing when 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme' was recorded. In the meantime, I'll take a Guild D-55, JF-55, or F-50...

[Old Mojo]

Just one? No way!

Pre-war D28, D35 and Gibson AJ.
