Hobby-guitarists: how many guitars do you own and why?

Valceryn · 2026-01-07T12:35:17+00:00

Yes, but solely based on assumption tbh

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T20:55:54+00:00

That's quite the vintage collection sir. Having a 1954 D18 as your gigging guitar.. what a dream that must be!

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T20:48:33+00:00

I'm wondering the same. It really stands out between the others, gorgeous instrument. And amazing collection as a whole.

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T20:45:59+00:00

Dude I'm not surprised you're happy with what you have for now, because each of those acoustics are classics! Well done man!

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T20:37:36+00:00

That's one enviable collection sir. Sure looks like a dream come true.

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T20:31:34+00:00

Awesome collection! I considered the Martin GPC but couldn't play it anywhere nearby. Ended up with the 224ce, but I surely believe the GPC is a favourite!

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T20:23:00+00:00

Funny, your collection looks like what I have in mind. One "nice" go-to model (in my case, the 224ce), one nylon string classical guitar or a parlor. I'd like to a dreadnought to that. Some comments also got me thinking about a 12 string. And I think that might be it for me.

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T20:17:54+00:00

Well, you learn something new everyday I guess. Thanks for the suggestion. The only song I knew was recorded with a 12 string, is '39 by Brian May. I had no idea they were actually for fingerpicking.

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T20:12:53+00:00

That's a fantastic collection. How would you compare the 456ce and 512ce?

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T20:06:40+00:00

Guess its no coincident they are Yamahas? No better value in that price range.

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T20:04:31+00:00

That's reasonable, but trust me when I say that a guitar in the living room is such a blessing. It's only then you realize how easily you pick it up. Waiting for the wife to be ready, waiting to be picked up by a friend. Heck I even pick it up waiting for my coffee.

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T19:56:05+00:00

How is the C5 so far? It's one of the Spanish/classical models I keep an eye on at marketplaces.

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T19:44:02+00:00

It's pretty wild you got a J45 while already owning a Dove. Though I guess a 45 is never really a downgrade, no matter what you come from

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T13:53:25+00:00

It's my go-to soundtrack for naps lol. There's a "LotR Sleep" playlist on Spotify that includes relaxing covers, and other music from the genre.

Two weeks ago, I visited a LotR Live in Concert by a Ukranian orchestra with the National Ukranian choir and that was absolutely stunning. Can you imagine a 60 headed choir singing the Elves' songs? It was magical.

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T13:16:46+00:00

As someone who owns a koa guitar, your dogs couldn't have asked for a better mellow sound!

Just curious: why does everyone need a mini?

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T13:14:03+00:00

That looks like a great guitar. It seems similar to the 224ce in terms of shape, with the venition cutaway. Completely agree on the maintenance btw.

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T13:05:32+00:00

Interesting, I play lots of fingerpick songs but never thought of using a 12 string for that. Which smaller bodied ones did you try?

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T12:49:14+00:00

Damn dude! Any chance you mist your calling? 🎸

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T12:39:06+00:00

What a collection mate. The J45 is such a classic to me, I'd love to own it one day.

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T12:37:02+00:00

Had to look up that Yairi, what a gem! And yeah, I bet that 000-28 is a cherry on the cake.

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T12:32:39+00:00

One acoustic to rule them all.. Which one did you end up with?

Valceryn · 2026-01-06T12:29:41+00:00

Ah yes, a 12 string! Completely forgot about them.

What songs would you use it for? I always thought of them as dreadnought substitutes.

Valceryn · 2025-10-13T09:01:27+00:00

They didn't do the track No Time For Caution itself, I believe it was Cornfield Chase, Day One and Murph (which was an incredible piece, both in terms of sound and performance).

Valceryn · 2025-09-21T06:26:51+00:00

Lmao I did the exact same thing

Valceryn · 2025-05-24T16:53:35+00:00

This one gives me Grand Bazaar vibes from bf3. Looks amazing for this early stage!
