    Your electric funnyship strayed into acoustic waters :-) 
    Red ones are better.

  • Sounds to me too like it’s the 17SE. My quest for a more higher end sofa guitar (as compared to my trusty taylor Baby) led to an Atkin The Forty Three.... which, err, isn’t particularly sofa-y!!

    Acoustics are even more personal than Electrics imho so get the one that speaks to you

    not sure where you live

    AFAIK best selection of used Martins is usually at Frailers in Runcorn, I've seen people turn up there on the train from London to buy a Martin.

    Check the stock before going, since he hasn't been able to import rosewood marting from the US for a while

    I went back today (hadn't planned to - just happened) to try and remind myself what was what and have come home with a guitar. 

    I imcluded a CEO-7 this time too on account of the one in the classifieds.

    The CEO-7 is brilliant. Looks gorgeous, outstanding finish, and sounds proper. I could own of those for sure.

    The Gibson L00 Studio also looks brilliant. Less awesome sounds being (for my taste) than the CEO-7 with plectrum or strummed, nicer with fingers, a bit. 

    The Eastman E100SSLtd fell.further behind on 2nd try But this was also in part due to high nut and saddle, which accentuated the feeling of the narrower string spacing . But anyway the plectrum.siubd was great but the fingers found it a lot less responsive than the others. Adi top at work maybe? 

    The 00-17S is the least sexy looking, most bass-light (I usually like a whump) but there's this brilliant thing it does with fingers that just makes every string sound the same volume - in a way I like. And it still sounds good with plectrum/strummy-singy stuff. 

    So I got it. 
    Red ones are better.

  • Wis for that. The best playing/sounding will always be the right choice.

    Good thread this, very much the sort of thing I'll be thinking about next time I get the acoustic GAS bug
