taylork22.jpg

Taylor K-22. This is a grand concert with Koa back, sides and a spruce top. It also has a Fishman Matrix Acoustic Natural pickup. I picked this one up used at a guitar show and it is immaculate! It is the best playing acoustic of my entire collection. The small body makes it comfortable to play even in the easy chair.

This is one of the few guitars I bought new. A Cadillac Green Ovation Standard Balladeer 1711 with on board electronics.

ibanezartwood.jpg

I rescued this Ibanez Artwood AW-30 from a pawn shop. It has rosewood veneer back and sides with a solid spruce top. It looks great but I would love to strip the epoxy finish. After doing that once before however I will leave well enough alone. This has a high action and makes a good slide guitar.

alvarez.jpg

This Alvarez is no longer in the house but I threw it in any way. This was a basket case found in a garage sale by a friend of mine with a brokenback with a large hole. I did a dutchman on the back and it sounded and played pretty good. Now a friend of mine is using this as a starter guitar.

takeminef307.jpg

Another used Takemine F-307 from the Red Fiddle. This was my wifes guitar until she got her little Guild. The small body makes it a good one for the easy chair. For a small guitar it has a full more treble type sound than you would think.

taylork20.jpg

This is one of my favorites. A Tayor K-20 All Koa guitar. It also has a Fishman Acoustic Natural pickup. I found this used at the Rose City Guitar Show in Portland Oregon about 5 years back. The flamed Koa on this is extrordinary! This guitar is my wifes favorite! Every time I talk about selling it and getting something else I get that "look".

babytaylor.jpg

This is my Baby Taylor travel guitar. It is a good little instrument with a spot transducer pickup. Mahogany back and sides with a spruce top.

ovationcustom.jpg

I got this one from a guy at work. An Ovation Custom Balladeer 1612 with electric pickup. This is one of my better deals and a great player.

barbsguild.jpg

My wifes Guild F-20 NT. A great little picker! This is from a going out of business stock from Monte Vista Music in Tacoma Washington.

takeminef360s.jpg

I bought this used Takemine F-360S at a shop called the Red Fiddle in Lakewood Washington. After stripping an expoxy finish off this guitar it is one of my favorites. I refinished it with about 15 coats of Tru Oil. It has rosewood veneer back and sides with a spruce top.

applause.jpg

When I was too poor to own an ovation I bought an Applause AA24-4. It actually plays real good with a full sound. I had the action lowered and intonated and its playability really improved.
