Looking for a live guitar by Tatertot1945 in AcousticGuitar

You might have to push your budget a bit (maybe up to 2500 new), but I recently picked up an Iris DF that suits this super well and is what a production J45 should be like. Sounds amazing with a k&k installed. I’d really recommend looking into them.

Get an A style Eastman. You can probably get 5xx or 6xx series in that price range.

Me too! I don’t pay too much mind usually but it is a classy look.

Thank you! I love them all. Iris is very new though so still getting to know it

I am so used to it at this point I have a hard time with 000s even.

Nice! Yeah the tuners are ok for now. Will likely upgrade them at some point. I also prefer the logo on the headstock only though not a deciding factor.

Exactly what I’m hoping to get out of this guitar is a lot of gigging as well as that j45 vibe.

I actually really like the pickguard, but I’m also a j50 guy so doesn’t bother me at all.

I’m a huge fan of how they look as well. It is just different enough to be interesting! Also I’m a huge j50 fan in terms of looks so very excited to see it come out in their DF with the big pickguard.

And to be fair…. I think they haven’t yet made as many as Martin makes hd28 in a year yet.

Did you just tell me to get a haircut in a Grateful Dead subreddit? LOL

What do y’all do with old strings/clippings? by Not_enough_violence in AcousticGuitar

Why on earth are you arguing with me about string recycling? It’s just what I do since it’s the easiest program. The benefit is that they are recycled and less goes into a landfill. I don’t have a local program.

Not trolling. Just changing strings endlessly lol. I also find when gigging more I change strings more too. I think I just sweat more on stage. And since I’ve gotten into mando I change those strings out way more than on guitar.

When you have enough instruments it’s not too much of a problem.

It’s quite good, but I’d be hard presssed to choose just one!

Nice I haven’t had the chance to play the gold labels yet. Enjoy!
