    Having seen the prices being discussed here I looked at my O25 (that I hadn't played in a long time) and thought "Hmm, that could fund quite a lot of GAS". Then I picked it up and played it for a few minutes, and ... wow, no way will I ever sell this guitar!

    You're right, of course. But too many guitars, not enough time - I'll stop browing Fretboard and go play it some more right now!

    I have a gigged 012c that's an early 1990s one: spruce and mahogany with a fishman rare earth pickup that has an endpin jack so no unseemly holes anywhere... pristine the guitar is not - but its an honest gigged guitar in a lowden case, one owner apart from when it was loaned to a relative for a year.. both Dennis Greaves and Glenn Tilbrook (as well as a few other notables)  have played it as well as me.. I have not a clue how much it is worth I know how much I paid for it.. many years ago .. if youre interested then email me and |I can ping you a few pics...

    There must be some out there that haven't been slapped around, scratched up or beaten instead of being played in the traditional sense surely?

    well they are pro instruments, and a lot of people gig them, modern acoustics have very thin finishes - you only have to breath on them and they mark, also the timbers are very thin... so all in all theyre fragile, and gigging is a tough environment - I wore a Taylor out in 2 1/2  years.. rubbed the finish off and the frets were shot and I maybe did 150 gigs - though they were all longish 2-3 setters.. and Im not a heavy player and I don't use a pick.. the Lowden was 4 times tougher in terms of finish... as was the Martin 000 mahog.. though I had that customised with purfling, so the edge didn't get ragged...

    Does it need to be a -c? I might have a near mint '10 O23 for sale soon.

    My heart is set on a c, but it all depends what you'll be asking for it I suppose!

    Been trying out possible replacements today and they all sounded sh*te, so it's staying for now :)

    No...Collings, Moon, Martin and Taylor. Tried a Lowden S series too and it sounded like a slightly smaller O. It's the body size I don't like with the O but that's also the reason why they sound so good...

    I did like the Collings OM, but too expensive for me really.
