Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). 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 you can donate.

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.
