I had posted previously about shopping for an acoustic guitar. I tried out guitars by Alvarez, Guild, Fender, Ibanez, Takamine, Seagull, and Taylor.

The Taylor was the Holy Grail, but even their lower models were outside of my budget. It came down to Seagull or Takamine. It was a super tough choice because both those guitars felt nice and sounded good. After going back and forth, I finally went with the Takamine. It just feels better in my hands, and I liked its slightly crisper tone better. The electronics all work well in it. It was just the right choice for me. Here it is.

..I loved Ovation, cause Kevin Cronin always played one. Then I jumped to Takamine, which I found to heavy for my flavor and action on fret-board to high. Then tried Ibanez. It felt better than Takamine but fretboard action was high.

...I'm lazy dont like messing with fretboard actions. ..lol Finally ended up a Applause which is similar to Ovation. Been sitting there in the closet for years. BTW.....all the guitars I've had we're hybrids. Acous/Elec.

Okay, I've uploaded a new image of it because of the renewed interest. I photoshopped out a busy background, but other than that, this is the image as is from my Samsung phone.
