Sorry SUL, never clicked on it, just flitting around, catching up.

Decided to get these out of their cases and hang them on the wall. It might just encourage me to play them more. I also re-strung them with Elixir polyweb, 10s on the Strat and 9s on the Gibson.
Anyone used these strings?........

Nice guitars!
I have heard that strings deteriorate quicker if you leave your guitar out in the open.

I've been told that the polyweb strings last 3 times longer than ordinary ones, we shall see!

I have one of these and one of these...

I can't play the guitar so have been learning the ukulele, the Stagg is a soprano and my fingers don't move so nimbly around, but the Tanglewood is a concert sized and is way more comfortable.

Not quite the awesome instruments on here, but I have never played any musical instrument until now, and I am nearly 50! Now I own 2, are they like bikes? Do I just keep getting more from now on [/QUOTE]
Yep

I am looking for a little help please
I have inherited a couple of guitars and now, based on space reasons have to decide which ones I am going to keep.
I have an Encore Steel strung electro acoustic
A Squire by Fender steel strung acoustic
A Cruiser by Crafter nylon strung electro acoustic
And a Squire by Fender Stratocaster electric

I am keeping the Stratocaster until such times as I can afford to replace it with a genuine American Fender Strat, I have been playing the Encore but sort of passed it on to my daughter, I have been playing the Squire acoustic, but I am now wondering whether the Cruiser will be a better playing guitar. I will have to get rid of at least one guitar for harmony indoors.

In your opinion which of the acoustics (electro or not) would be the better guitar to keep and which should I consider eBaying?

Also is there a decent online guitar forum that anyone could recommend?

 

[raleighnut]

Depends which one is easiest to play (nice low action) but I'd be looking at getting rid of the Encore or the Crafter but probably the Encore is the better.

No5 & the last one for today...

2008/9 Paul Reed Smith SC 245 -
57/08 Limited Edition, this is No 198/250.

It has what is known in PRS world as a
10 Top, Quilted maple top, one below the ultra expensive Private Stock maple tops.

The pickups are PRS 57/08 models which were manufactured using the machinery & wiring from Gibsons old factory, the same as used to make the original 1957 - 60 Les Pauls.

Probably the best build quality of any guitar I have & sonically an equal to the Les Paul, just different.

Might sound odd but inrecognise these photos...not the guitars but the floor. I've seen guitars advertised, shown on a stone floor and wondered how they didn't scratch...are you a dealer by chance?
