Nice set of words this month. They all have enough contrast to spark a few different moods. I already have a couple of lines forming around deputy and deny, so I might try turning that into a short verse. Looking forward to hearing what everyone else comes up with.

Re: Best Acoustic Guitars (8 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
he D-28 and 814ce are both top-tier choices, each with a very different feel. Since you mentioned the Gibson J-45, it fits right in with those two as another classic.
The J-45 has a warm, rounded tone that works well for strumming and vocal backing. It doesn’t push as hard as a D-28, but it fills the mix in a very smooth way. Players who like a more relaxed response usually end up loving it.
If someone is choosing between these three, I’d say:
Go D-28 for big projection and a traditional dreadnought sound.
Go 814ce if you want clarity, balance, and modern playability.
Go J-45 for a warm, earthy tone that suits almost any style.
All three are great depending on what you want out of the instrument.
