Small/thin body acoustic guitars

[chriswallace85]

My son has an epiphone semi acoustic. Looks like a gretch type thing. Nice guitar and decent sound without amplifier.

Big cumbersome things though and whilst they are more audible than a solid body electric, it's not a great sound and isn't really comparable to an acoustic.

I've got a Sheraton.

What about a tanglewood crossroads parlour £129, or orchestra £99.
Got good reviews.

If you're considering an epi 335, check out the Ibanez Artcore range.

I have an Ibanez TCM50. I think they're around the £200 mark.

My Takamine G-Series Dreadnought has also always had a lovely tone.

I bought one of these a few years ago, mind they've nearly doubled in price like since I bought mine.

They are lovely guitars... they feel really comfortable and sound great... Would 100% recommend.

Yes, think their opening hours are bit odd if I remember correctly but had no bother.

I’ve been looking at a Furch OM model and a 000rs Martin. Can’t make my mind up which one to go for. One is up north and one is south so would have to put the miles in to try them. I think I’m persuaded to go for the Furch. Anyone had any experience of them?

Isn't that Armstrong Aquatics? Never seen it open.

I've had a Celebrity for years and can't grumble about tone or resonance plugged in or out really. Certainly can hold it's own against most slim bodied acoustics in it's price range.

So have I...

@Big Duke Six is the resident guitar expert. I bought an electric acoustic as it had a smaller body. Perfect size. Playing a full size acoustic gave me shoulder pain.

Indeed, I'm probably the finest axeman to ever grace this board.
