Show Us Yer Guitar Quiver

I don't have one

[EWG]

Ok, I've been thinking about it since the beginning of covid and I might finally be ready to pull the trigger on a new acoustic. However, haven't played anything to test it out due to lockdown, so need to go through that process.

So I'm soliciting suggestions. What guitar do I want? I'd like it to have a cutout to get high on the fretboard and a pickup is a bonus but not required. Currently playing a Sigma which is a more cost effective Martin made acoustic, and I frankly don't love it but maybe don't read too much into that. I want a rich sound. I also tend to play a lot of bar chords on the acoustic so lower action is preferred.

Tell me what I want. And I'd probably look for it used.

Also, adrenalated, that's a beautiful setup.

I'm a drummer but...
Not including what's in my son's room...
Nothing too fancy, some Fender, Epiphone, BCs, Squier, Steinberger, Washburn


Dad picked this up when he was stationed in Madrid mid 1950s, Ramirez Student Model. It was trashed and I restored it for him 25 years ago. Got it when he passed.

Aaaannndd my lovely wife pulled the trigger for me for Xmas. Taylor 214ce is now in the collection. I absolutely love it. The action is amazing. Not sure I’m worthy, frankly.

Alright, I need a small amp to add to my amp quiver. What do I want? I'd like to grab it cheap - used probably. $100 or so, or preferably less. But I want it to have a little character. Currently thinking something like an Orange Crush 12 which you can get for about $70.

Suggestions?

I’ve played some crush amps and I thought they really sucked. Mushy and no definition, horrible distortion. VOX pathfinder is surprisingly really good but has a very specific sound, takes pedals well. Fender Champion 20 would be my call. Little more expensive, but sounds good and has decent amp/effects modeling. The various amp in a box options with powered speakers are really cool but obviously cost more.

Excellent feedback. That Vox was on the list. I’m gonna have to look at it closer. The Fender Champion 20 I didn’t even know existed. I’ll check it out too.

Thanks.

I picked up a used Yamaha THR5 a 1.5 yrs ago in the $100ish range and I think it's pretty damn great. It's a far cry from the modeling amps I tried 20yrs ago. My days of playing in bands are probably done but if I ever got the urge again I'd definitely kick the tires on one of the higher output versions of this thing.

[altacoup]

Those yamahas are sweet. Rarely seen second hand, so I’m assuming owners love them.

I have a THR10, it’s great. Perfect camping rig. Also thinking about a big-boy version to make the plaster shake a bit more.
Maybe one of these…

Those THR10 are clearly loved. But more cash than I was looking for. I think I’m mostly gonna run a microphone through it but I’ll use it now and then with a guitar.

Hell it’s obvious I don’t really know what I want.

I have a guitar in my office with a little frontman just to make a little noise. But no turning it up there. That leaves me with just one amp at home, a Fender Performer 650, which is LOUD. I have nothing for the mic since I brought the frontman into work. So it’d be nice to find one that can do double duty: amp for the mic as well as serving as a small amp for the guitar when I want less noise.

Also the 650 does not love being plugged into an acoustic. Little overdriven.

Hell I’ll probably just bail and buy a traveler ultralight first.

I clearly have no idea what I’m doing next at any given time.

I have a Boss Katana Mini and am SUPER impressed by how good it sounds for such a tiny and inexpensive little amp.

It’s clearly obvious that we are related.

Ha. Decisions about big things: buying a house, who to marry, job to take, skis/bike to get - I make those in about 5 minutes. Let me choose which sneaker color to buy, well, damn, that's gonna be about 4 months. Oddly guitar choices fall into the big category. Amps do not.

If you’re looking to run a mic into something. Then I’d recommend getting some powered speakers and one of the many amp in a box pedals. But that’ll end up costing more than a small combo amp.

[EWG]

Anybody ever played through a Fender Mustang V2? Ran across one locally. It’s a modeling amp. Thought it might be a good little practice amp that could double as a mic amp at times. Thoughts?

[EWG]

Just a bump to say that the pandemic seems to have changed the math on the number of guitars you should own from N+1 to like N+5 or some shit...
