Thats my current setup.
I love how my Takamine sounds with the heavier guage strings. The bottom end has that meaty growl, very warm mids and nice mellow highs. Only problem is... my fingers are now dead. the tension on the strings is enough to strangle a yak, left handed,
but in the search for tone, what's a little carpal tunnel between friends?
The Yamaha APX-SPLi has been with me for about 12 years now, not quite a dreadnought body, and not quite a parlour sized guitar. It sits in that happy middle zone where I can happily play it on its own, but still has enough guts to hold its own being played through a PA. Best part is she sounds brilliant in DADGAD!
but sadly, there's a crack on the neck joint, have retired her from live shows.
The illusive acoustic.
Where can she be? |
