I got to play a Taylor Koa guitar the other day, it had to be the best sounding guitar I have every played. It's a shame the price was way out of my range. It was over 3,000.00. :( Here's hoping I win the lotto!

I've played a couple very nice Taylors as well. Friend of
mine had one that was one of the sweetest recording
instruments I"ve ever had the pleasure of recording. Very
nice.
I think his current TAylor has the Fishman pickup system
with the preamp and all for when he gigs.

Nice... I'm looking for a acoustic/electric cut away, not sure what I'll end up getting. I really liked the sound of the Koa wood Taylor guitar, but it's way out of my price range. I saw some good reviews on the Dean guitar, but then I found out the Dean Koa guitar is only laminated, so I doubt it would sound anything at all like a real Koa wood guitar. Oh well, the search continues..

I've got a Martin I bought in '03 which I really like. I
never did get a keeper recording of that guitar, although
they sounded nice, every time I went to record that guitar
something happened outside that made the track unusable.

I'd like to get another very decent acoustic 6 to put a
pickup system on. I'm afraid to put one on this Martin, no
matter how I like it on another guitar, as if it isn't done
just right and I don't like the sound then I've modified the guitar for a system I don't like. I'll probably do
something eventually, then start looking for a small
diaphragm condenser for occasional gigging that I can aim at about the 12th fret to enhance the pickup, only use the
pickup sound or mostly for stage monitor if I need it.

My buddy's FIshman system was alright, for gigging. I liked it for getting him
a monitor sound, but since he sat on an
old 5 gallon bucket with a cushion on it whenever he played
the acoustic and not his electric that I just automatically
stuck a Shure sm-81 at about the 12th fret. Other guys who
ran sound for his band never bothered, they just took his
pickup sound, but I liked both for different reasons. FOr
arrangements where his acoustic ws blending with full out
rock 'n roll drums I'd use more of his pickup sound to get
that plinky plinky that would cut through the mix.
Especially true when they had a third guitarist on electric
sitting in as well, which often happened with those guys.

I worked way too cheap doing sound dog for those guys but
they were fun to work with, and they didn't slack on setup
and tear down.

Richard
