Re: Musical Instruments Thread
Yeah youg got it internalised and then you go into flow. Like when you see a guitarist do amazingly hard solo with their eyes closed and head back just lost in the flow of what they are doing.
Theres actually a page about that on wikipedia.

Re: Musical Instruments Thread
I've just seen a used Takamine EG330SC guitar, for a relatively good price ($440). I used to have an old Japanese Takamine, that had a very unique sound, but had to sell it, when I bought another guitar. Has anyone played Takamine EG 330 SC or do you know somebody who did? I read pretty good reviews on the net and the youtube videos sound promising.

Re: Musical Instruments Thread
Funny you should ask, that's the acoustic I have. I love it. It's not a very bright guitar, but you'll sure cary a rhythm.

You're my man! 
By "not very bright" you mean it's not a Taylor, Ovation or Seagull? I know it's not a professional instrument, but as far as I know it's not that far from those. Good enough for a "bedroom guitarist". 
Please help me: how are the highs and lows sounding? Does the GN'R/Slash, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones stuff sound good on it? Good for appreggios, or better for full chords? How does the bluesy stuff sound on it?
Did you have problems with the electronica? Is it noisy plugged in? Better plugged or unplugged?
Any problem with the bends or the neck?
I think I have a lot of questions. Thanks in advance. :rock:

Re: Musical Instruments Thread
Well Taylor's are more balanced. Not sure about the Seagull, but it's definitely not as bright as an Ovation. It's more than enough for a bedroom guitarist. It's got a solid top, so it's not an entry level guitar by any means.
The mids and lows are where this thing shines. It'll do anything rhythm with no problem. It's not that it doesn't have clear highs, they just don't shine as much as the lows. It's a little lower than the Slash acoustic sound. Think intro to "Civil War," which I think Izzy played with a jumbo. Arpeggios are just fine, it's very pronounced. Chords really shine on it. It's really good for bluesy stuff, as it's a little darker.
Electronically this thing is awesome. I've gigged out with it, and have had no problems with noise or degradation of sound. Plugged in, it's not bad, but when I've recorded it I've always mic'd it up, as I would with any acoustic/electric, even if it were a Martin. You just don't get the "wood" sound through an acoustic pickup.
I've never had problems with the neck. I play really heavy gauge strings, so I can't comment too much on the bends, as it's pretty much impossible at my tension.
Hope this helped!

Thank You! I'll try out that Takamine today or tomorrow. I'll tell you about my experience - maybe even upload a pic of my new guitar

Yeah, I bought it, but forgot to tell. I'm happy with the Taka, it sounds just like you described. The lows could be fatter, but the strings are a bit old, I'd have to change them, but it'd cause a lot of things, and I'm lazy to get that done. (It has 0.13 strings, I wanna change to a bit thinner set, but it could effect the neck/tuning etc.)
The Taka is quite easy to play, the neck is just perfect for me. I haven't played this much for years. I really like it, thanks for the info!
