Actually, the acoustic sound on the XP isn't that great, imo. The lower notes sound much better than the high notes if you ask me(which nobody did).
I will never, ever, buy a seagull. The only way I'll play one is if someone gives me one or I get endorsement offers. They sound great, I'll give them that, but they don't hold up well at all. A couple of my good friends have them, or rather, had them. The expensive one kept losing adjustment, many neck and fret problems. The cheap one's electronics were very crackly and poppy if you moved around. Kept coming loose inside the guitar.
Oh well, I'll find something eventually. I'll check out guitar.com and see what people think. I know general information about brands, but very little, almost nothing, about specific models within the brands. This might be an arduous task.

I think going to a music store, picking up an acoustic and playing it to hear how it sounds and how it feels is really the only way to go for you. Everyone has their own opinion about instruments, but when it comes right down to it, it is you who will be playing it, so your opinion is really all that matters. Good luck!

I think you're right. I've ben trying to get coordinated with a friend to head to Minneapolis, or maybe Denver, and go guitar hunting. All the stores in my area sell semi-pro stuff at best. I'm needin' the real deal.

I like that black acoustic guitar that Glen Frey used in the Eagles' "Hell Freezes Over" concert. Does anybody knows what brand and model is it? Don Henley was also using it as a drum in one of their song.

Hi all!
I own a Fender Newporter (made in Korea). I love her, but I'm afraid it isn't by far as good as Larrivee. But what about an original one?
Or a Walden?

What's up guys? Just saying hi; letting you know I'm not dead. How is everyone? Rory, found yourself an acoustic yet?

No. I think I'm waiting a while. I got a friend whose going to give me a nice sum of money to put towards an acoustic for my birthday, which is in April.

Hey Rory,
Man, now that sounds like a good plan!
