Y'all may (or may not) recall I've said I don't like cut away guitars (they look incomplete to me) and I don't like gloss black paint on guitars-

My Lag, T118 ASCE-BLK is rapidly becoming my favorite guitar

it is both of the above

I sent a video to my oldest son last night, of a new original song and he commented on how he liked the guitar, and the song- it's hard to explain why I like it so much, but, it is a pretty sucker and sounds good, I think and apparently my oldest son does too. I took it to their house recently to show it off and played, House of The Rising Sun and my DIL said she liked it. She's a commenter, not a complimenter by nature-

As I was cleaning it last night before putting it away for the evenin, I talked to it tellin it how pretty it is

Garland,

First there is absolutely nothing wrong with changing your mind on what you like and don't like, I do it on a daily basis.
Also talking to your guitars and telling them how pretty they look and sound, will definitely make them play and sound better, just don't let the other guitars hear, it can lead to jealousy.

I dislike cutaway dreads. they look like boxes with rounded corners.
However, guitars with hips and a cutaway look lovely.
Two of my guitars have Venetian cutaways. While I have stated I'm done buyig guitars. If I run across one with a Florentine-cutaway, I'll be interested.

RobertW,

Yes when most people say, they are done buying guitars.

They really mean they are done buying guitars for today, once a guitar lover always a guitar lover, and that's the way it should be, remember their is always tomorrow, a new make or model guitar, or a guitar that you always wanted becomes available when least expecting it, never say never.

Derick, RobertW, on reverb there is a Chinese designed and made guitar with a florentine cut away that has caught me fancy-

reverb.com/item/39366827-livingston-mountain-river-solid-engelmann-spruce-rosewood-grand-auditorium-acoustic-guitar

I messaged them about delivery time and they replied 7 to 10 business days-

I doubt that, but, maybe after christmas (or later*) I'll find out.

*I have a b'day this month, christmas next month, two b'days in January and one in February to contend with

and a b'day in April

Garland,

Can't really comment on thar guitar as I know nothing about it.
But it looks very nice, plus it has an arm rest, and it's a good price.
I wouldn't have the bottle to order on line, without trying, it's a good job everybody not the same as me.

Garland,Derick,RobertW,FloridaGull,

Apparently, my local music store just got a bunch of hybrid nylon guitars in. Been considering one for a while. Gonna go check them out this weekend if possible.

That means one is gonna have to go out IF one is going to come in. I know which one will go out. As much as I love it, I'm just not using it, but I know I'd pick up a hybrid acoustic quite often for practice, noodling and especially recording.

=====================================
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- Jesus, from Matthew 11:28-30

TonyKgull,

You are very lucky, I've wanted and needed a hybrid Nylon strung guitar for ever, I've not see one in the flesh or even played one, but if I ever get my hands on one it's coming home.
