Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Ah, that makes sense. You know how it is though, no second chance to make a first impression.

But man what a nice sound they have.

I own an absurd number of Martin examples, specifically the D-28. I'm a sucker for an old D-28. I have a couple from the late 1800s, but those aren't worth nearly as much as you probably think they are.

Taylor makes good guitars. You can pay a lot for 'em, or get their lower end stuff. I don't have much experience with the cheaper examples by pure happenstance. I've just never been around them much. There's also Takamine which is a Japanese guitar affiliated with Taylor, though those can get expensive in their own right. They're kinda like Gibson's Epiphone (I think).

Oh yeah, I've heard of Takamine. I always liked Ovations, for some reason all the ones I ever picked up had good action and sounded nice.

Wonder whatever happened to those Carvin guitars you could mail order.

Jimmy Rogers' widow gave my dad a guitar and told him he could keep it if he'd just learn a few chords but he gave up quickly. She and my grandmother were best friends in San Antonio.

Ovation makes great guitars. I take an Ovation 12 string on stage with me, as a general rule. Things are rock solid and don't care about humidity or temperatures.
