Garland ,

So many great guitars.

I've had a few all Mahogany guitars, nice but I tend to get a bit tired of the sound, and prefer a nice Spruce top guitar, but it's all a matter of personal choice.

Just come back from the local guitar shop, played a few, Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters, they had a nice Taylor Guitar but to expensive for me, then a Sigma J200 Jumbo guitar absolutely beautiful looking and sounding, but I know from experience it is to big for armchair playing.
So I didn't buy anything today.

ya know, Derick, I have the Martin00015M I absolutely love the sound of... but I can't use it at open mic w/o a pickup... and, I wonder about how it would fare outside in the weather. It seems a bit fragile to me since it weighs so little... so, I was lookin around for somethin a bit more substantial, in mahogany.
The Guilds are pretty light weight as well

the laminate guitars are sturdier, but, findin one I admire is a horse of a different color...

Yes the Martin 00015M, is a great guitar, if it was mine I'd keep it for best and play it in the house.

At one time, there were loads of laminate guitars, but the only one I can think of now is the Tackamine.

Garland,

Just a thought have you tried your Gretsch Electric guitar at the open Mike, so much control over the volume and tone, could be a good choice.

As a matter of fact, I have thought about the Gretsch at open mic. I even played it for a bit a couple weeks ago. Haven't ruled it out for sure.

Last evenin, during breaks between races, I played the Orangewood... made me think about the LR Baggs Lyric in it. It's not laminate, but it is heavier/strurdier than the Martin and actually sounded pretty dang good... I have to get the A/C fixed on me truck (prob'ly 1000 bucks) so gettin another guitar right now ain't very smart... course, if I was smart, I'd be rich... and wouldn't have to think about things like that

Garland,

I like new guitars, but I have a nice selection of average guitars, if I payed a lot more would not get a guitar that would be a lot better, so the sensible thing to do would be to just live e with the guitars I have now, but sensible is a bit boring.
I may be getting better, as yesterday visited the local guitar shop, a d left without buying a new guitar.

My brother Gary owns an Eastman J45 clone (but with Indian rosewood back & sides). He loves it and so do I.
