...Been around all that sophisticated stuff-I HAVE,though;played through amps on my 6-string,and sang thru mikes-but Ive NEVER been able to replicate the golden sound of an acoustic guitar on amp;and where I play in my church;I dont really need amp anyway.I dont have hook-up provision to an amp on my guitars,folks at church have told me my guitars sound great-Projection,voice,depth.I have a Guild D-15 all mahogany 6 string;almost 25 years old,now-The finish is gettin rubbed off the lower bout where my R-arm rests on her when playing,scratches on her,dents-BUT OH,THAT SOUND!!!......If I could find a system like you will have there,a removable mike pick-up for her would surely be in the works!!!I also have a newer Ibanex Exotic Wood acoustic 6-string in Zebrawood finish,kind of an orangish-brown tint-PRETTY-BUT AS WE KNOW,beauty in an axe only goes as far as HOW DOES IT SOUND???In this case,for an only 3 year guitar,sounds pretty good-Except for a buzz in the 3rd string and I cant find the source of it.My all time favorite acoustic is the C.F.Martin D-45 Dreadnought-Thats my favorite model of 6 string,the D'nought-for the sound quality-Only problem is the Martin retails for around NINE GRAND!!!

Thats NOT electric,either...BUT,Ever since I played one years ago;I found that in the right hands,the thing almost plays itself.Y'all should go to the C.F.Martin website and have a look-see for youself them gorgeous Martins!!!Every now and again;I go to the Guitar Center in Flint to play on some of their higher-end acoustics.Problem is with that;everybody and their aunt goes in there and plays 'em-and ?How many reeeeeally know what theyre doin??Whats worse;"what ya see is what ya get" if ya wanna buy one-None in cases un-touched,ya buy whats out for everybody to bang on

I remember once,I was on vacation;and I heard a couple guys "playin" acoustics and "singing"down the way.......They both had Taylor acoustics-NICE guitar(Remember a while ago when I said in the right hands,the Martin would almost play itself???Hate to say it,but these guys needed a "play itself"guitar)-They gave off the impression they were the next big thing outta Nashville-NOW,Im not sayin Im Nashville material,but what better critic than one "musician"to another??THAT SAID,they sounded more like a cat that got its tail caught in the screen door-AND EVERYBODY LISTENING TO IT THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT!!One woman there asked me "DONT YA THINK THEY ARE GREAT??"....I said-to be nice-"UN-FORGETTABLE is more like it"

...im thinking about bringing one of my 6-strings to the Forum Hunt so's we can have some music during our breaks between swinging;if that OK with Mike,and all y'all.ONE THING Ive learned in the music circle:The first time somebody unknown opens his mouth to sing,or play any instrument;it becomes apparent REAL QUICK if they belong up in front of an audience;or not-NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE can get up and do it;its DEFINITELY a gift from the LORD if ya can-AMEN!!!
