I loved that J45 but it's just too big for the truck (semi). I couldn't get comfortable with it. I originally wanted a 00 but fell in love with the J45. So I took it back to Jimmy at Southpaw and he let me return it and then purchase this LG-2 Rateliff. I love it, bigly
Southpaw in Houston was a blast. I went J-45. I'm not going to go into which guitars I played and which ones I liked and disliked. I don't want to offend anyone, we all have different ears. All I will say is I couldn't be happier with my new strings
I drove all night so I'm going to catch a few hours before they open. It's NGD. It's down to L-00, 00-18, and a Taylor 300 or 400 series
The big one in Houston. Not sure if I can say the name of the business. I am in the market for a $1000 - $2000 00/000 sized acoustic. I am hoping I don't fall in love with a 00-18, 000-18, L-00, or 4 series Taylor. I would like to spend under $2000. I made a list from their website that includes about 10 Taylors 2,3, and 4 series, the L-00, 00-18, 000-18, 000-15, and 000 Retro Plus. I only fingerpick. I am intermediate at best. I have never played any of these guitars because, as you know, most shops don't stock nice Lefty's. I like the look and sound (YouTube) of an all Hog so I hope I really like the 000-15. I feel like a common reply to this will be buy the 18 series if you can afford it, as well as Just play all of them and pick the one that suits you. I am very excited to make this trip and this purchase.
