My New Toy

Post by dogload »

Thought I'd post this and announce my latest acquisition. It's one of these:
Image
Its a Washburn J28S12DL.
I've 'needed' a new acoustic 12 for ages (the top on my old one started to lift). I actually ended up buying my first Ric this year when I went to look for a new acoustic 12! I suppose at least it was a 12-string Ric...
I hadn't planned on getting one just yet, but my missus persuaded me.
Anyway I'll stick a pick of my actual one when I get a chance- it's a really sexy guitar 'in the flesh'. And it plays and sounds good too!
Um... my band
The Type Five

Thanks :)
Actually, when I first showed her the guitar, she kind of frowned and said "It's very lovely, but a bit loud" !!! :lol:

After a couple of days playing with it I have to say itis nice. Much nicer than my old Washburn. I was originally going to get an Ovation- I'm not that keen on the sound but it had a built-in tuner! Anyway, sense prevailed and I would recommend this one (although that might just be coz I have one :? ).

Dogload.....Cool guitar. Even BETTER significant other. When you're in a pinch you know which one to keep ---- the latter! Enjoy your new toy, brah. Peace, out.....Goofyfoot.
Play on, pick often, jam with any Rickenbacker, and prosper.
