Guitar Dimensions, Aesthetics and Attributes

Garland,

I agree with all you are saying.
But there are questions to ask your self, mainly what are you looking for, in looks, sound, playability, comfort, etc.
Myself I like guitars smaller than Dreadnought size, looks within reason I like the look of most guitars, the sound/tone is a tough one but I can alter that within reason by set up, string gauge and make, plus tuning to get the sound that I like, now the guitar has to be comfortable or it's not fun to play.
Is there such a thing as "this is the one" guitar, the answer is yes, I have this guitar everytime I buy a new guitar.

I can only add my thought's to the answers offered here. Listening to any recording is not what it sounded like when it was written. The video's to sell one are 99.9% done with sound equipment. Even walking into a music store considering what we have now days and playing 5 of the same exact model you might feel and see a difference and hear some yet it won't sound the same at home.

No matter what guitar any know guitarist is using they have their own sound and you know it's them because it's theirs.

Certainly there are people who play these songs, some get pretty close yet you can always tell most of the time. There were countless Beatles cover bands as well as many other cover bands.

All started somewhere playing other peoples songs , over time they used all of the bits and pieces and created their own sound and wrote their own songs. It was their influences and determination and in many cases how the members found each other and if just one never entered the picture they would never have been.

My acoustics all sound different yet they don't change the tune, they might influence me to add something else either because of the way they sound or feel. It never hurts to use a pick , the more you can work with the more options you have whether a thumb pick or flat pick or bare fingers or combination. Then you decide what works for you. It's a never ending process. Learn as many chord shapes and positions you can and play around with them.
