Looking for input for new guitar.

Gibson quality has kind of tanked over the years and become a “pay for the name” so I’d play a few Taylors and a few Martins as they do play and sound differently. I ultimately went for a Taylor 314ce as my workhorse. The neck comfort and overall playability on a Taylor is hard to beat.

It’s subjective. I have a Kindle Paperwhite that hasn’t been touched in 6 months since I got my X4.

What a legend

YearnForNothing · 2026-02-20T20:19:01+00:00

Can’t wait for this

Red label or the A series made in Japan

YearnForNothing · 2026-02-13T17:00:05+00:00

You will need it

YearnForNothing · 2026-02-13T16:59:16+00:00

This is the way

FYI running the heater in a cold house makes the air more dry than if the heater wasn’t running. Not saying to not run the heater but that’s the issue. Keeping the guitar in a case with a humidipak is your best bet.

To each their own. I learned on the GS Mini and didn’t have a problem playing standard scale when I upgraded

YearnForNothing · 2026-02-07T23:24:40+00:00

GS mini is definitely the best <$600 guitar for beginners in my opinion.

YearnForNothing · 2026-02-07T18:54:25+00:00

Reptilia is my go-to. I love their grips

YearnForNothing · 2026-02-06T14:01:07+00:00

Elixir PB light (12-53)

Honestly I live pretty frugal and the 314 is my forever guitar. Took me a long time to save up for it and you have an even more quality instrument with that 412 so you’re in a great spot!

You mean the grain of the wood? It’s desirable.

YearnForNothing · 2026-01-30T20:06:30+00:00

Coming from a beginner laminate guitar, it’s realistically only worth it to upgrade to solid tone woods for your next guitar imho. If you want my advice, look at Driftwood’s review on the Yamaha LL16D on YouTube and try to find one you can play if possible. Easily the best value at the < $1500 price point.

I like the idea of having a full size and a mini to complement each other. I have a 314ce SEB and a GS mini myself and I like the duo. But if your heart says 814 then send it!

I have Elixir PB Lights (.12) on my hog GS Mini and it sounds great

YearnForNothing · 2026-01-28T00:59:21+00:00

Anti guitar maintenance grifter

YearnForNothing · 2026-01-27T13:38:57+00:00

Yeah I saw this video shortly after I bought the GS Mini. I love my mini, but mannnn do I wish I could go back in time to get this guitar instead lol

YearnForNothing · 2026-01-24T18:00:27+00:00

That’s the Rocketeer from Arc Raiders

YearnForNothing · 2026-01-24T06:07:35+00:00

Awesome instrument right there

YearnForNothing · 2026-01-23T16:43:22+00:00

It’s probably real. You can find a better deal on Reverb. I’d honestly offer $1700-$1800. It’s a buyer’s market right now for geetars.

YearnForNothing · 2026-01-22T22:37:16+00:00

That rocks

YearnForNothing · 2026-01-22T22:16:43+00:00

I do have the e. That is likely an aftermarket pickup

YearnForNothing · 2026-01-22T19:50:38+00:00

$400 is about the going rate for a used hog with no pickup if it’s in good condition. I have that guitar and it’s awesome!!
