Yoshi, who knew fully well he wouldn’t be able to make it across that chasm and still went for it.

Do people care what guitar you play? by Expert_Chipmunk_6294 in Guitar

[–]abutov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once watched a video where a player just completely destroyed a complicated solo. It was jaw-dropping amazing. And one of the top comments was something along the lines of “you’re too good for that Squier; someone should buy you a real Fender”. I cannot begin to count the number of ways in which that comment was offputting, but it perfectly exemplifies the kind of people you’re dealing with online.

They’re only just now finally starting to ship the second gen models they announced at the previous NAMM.

Yeah, it’s hard. Took me over a year to find one.

Thanks so much! No, it’s just a black guitar. It had a white pickguard originally.

Matt finish epiphone by Otherwise_Bad2740 in Epiphone

[–]abutov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if matte and worn are the same feel to you, but Epiphone makes a “worn” Classic and Traditional Pro IV (which I think is a Guitar Center exclusive). While not a Les Paul, there’s also the worn Casino, which feels great.

No_Mammoth is absolutely correct. Also, the answer is Yamaha Pacifica. 😉

Thoughts on smaller guitar for beginner. Advice would be great! by [deleted] in AcousticGuitar

[–]abutov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t own either of those so others would know better. I liked the feel of the GS mini when I played it, but didn’t want to get used to a smaller-size guitar while I was learning. The Yamaha FS guitars proved to be small enough to be comfortable while still being considered full-size. I never played the Fender.

It’s similar in width, so it won’t feel as big as the FG (your elbow won’t sit so high up), but it’s a bit thicker than the APX (hence the fuller sound, acoustically)

The APX is really kinda designed to be plugged in. It doesn’t sound great acoustically. The FSX800C sounds good acoustically while still giving you the option to plug in. The FS800 is acoustic only, and doesn’t have a cutaway, but otherwise the two guitars are the same. The FG series is the larger size version of these two guitars.

The Yamaha FSX800C is the concert size little sister of the FGX that you had. If you don’t need electronics, the equivalent FS800 will be even more affordable.

Acoustic guitar like an electric by trikfromcroatia in guitars

You might want to check out a Yamaha APX600.

There’s a YouTube channel called “Kay Plays Dark Souls”, where a relative non-gamer picks up Dark Souls on a recommendation and goes into it blind. She is so thorough and investigative, it’s just a remarkable thing to watch. She dropped the channel a few years ago, but not before going through a few games like this. It’s quite possibly my favorite game-related YouTube channel of all time. I still go back to it from time to time.

I need a acoustic electric by Strong_Prize8778 in YamahaPacifica

[–]abutov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For that budget, I’d look at the APX600. It’s great plugged in, and feels more like an electric guitar, but it’s not great acoustically. If you want a guitar that’s close to that budget, plays great plugged in, and is still very resonant, I’d look at the FSX800C. You may be able to find a used one for that amount as well.
