What guitars do you think they sound best with in terms of tonewoods? How about strumming vs fingerstyle? What made you choose these instead of phosphor bronze?
I’m gonna prob order some and try them myself, but just curious! I have an OM-28.
Thanks
Curious to hear what yall think. Obviously mostly thinking teles but also for other guitars too
I bought this Vox headphone amp a bunch of years ago. Used it here and there, but now have a need for headphone practice a lot more again.
I’m planning to spend more time with it later today to try to dial in some good sounds, but wondering if ya’ll think the tech has evolved enough where I should consider upgrading. Recently watched an Andertons vid where they compare a few other headphone amps.
Anyone have a headphone amp that they’d strongly recommend? Or better yet, anyone use the Vox ones and also tried other ones? Thanks!
Playing Manhã de Carnaval by Luiz Bonfá on my OM-28 while enjoying the lake view.
Guitar is strung with Galli acoustic jazz flat 80/20 strings.
Thanks for listening!
I'm curious what folks think about this! Not about which is best, but what you hear in terms of each of these brands' overall sound + what you prefer!
I don't really play too much straight ahead stuff. Mostly chord melody and Latin jazz, and primarily at home or in small duo settings. I often find myself playing on a flat top (Martin acoustic guitar), but I don't see jazz often on this type of guitar.
Thoughts? If it sounds good it is good and stop overthinking it? Thanks.
Based on the Martin website, the neck material is “select hardwood” and the neck color is “dark mahogany”. With that in mind + the 2 photos attached here, is there any way of knowing what select hardwood is on this guitar? Just curious more than anything else. Thanks!
Guitar is an OM-28. Thanks for listening!
Doing a loose rendition of the intro to this song. It’s from Frusciante’s solo discography (off the album Niandra LaDes And Usually Just A T-Shirt).
Played on my Martin OM-28. Thanks for listening!
Let's say we're comparing apples to apples: OMs to OMs, dreadnoughts to dreadnoughts, etc.
I'd love to hear how other folks hear rosewood and mahogany and if you prefer one vs the other for certain musical styles.
I started using Ibanez Super 58 pickups and they're amazing. Warm, lush, clear, articulate, and just nice sounding.
I don't know if I'd go as far as saying they're underrated, but it often feels like people talk about replacing them or that they're subpar compared to other humbuckers (especially from Seymour Duncan or Gibson). I can't say I've done a deep dive comparison across a bunch of humbuckers, but I can say that these Super 58s sound great in a number of different contexts.
Any other Super 58 fans?
Hi all, I'm having a hard time finding a good space for this sort of thing -
An evening event (let's say 3 hours) that could feature an "audience" (30-40 people) and a place for 1-2 people to present about a topic. This is not for a professional event, but rather a family/friends event. Ideally, the space would have chairs and an opportunity to serve snacks/drinks.
Is this even a thing? Looking for recs primarily in Manhattan but open to other boroughs. Thanks so much!
Great track. RIP Barney Kessel and Dilla
Just some of it. Originally was playing this piece as a flatpicking exercise which was definitely super useful, but switched to fingerstyle.

Thanks for listening!
With lots of chorus and reverb. Koji Kondo 🐐
This one caught my eye. Curious if the neck pickup can warm up and do jazzy sounds well, and also overall how you like the instrument?
Thanks!
Edit: also how’s the lower bout? This instrument looks kinda wide which I like, I normally play a semi-hollow and find it very comfortable. Is this wider than other solid bodies?
