Topic: Songbooks? (5 replies, posted in About Chordie)
I haven't been a member long, but really enjoy the site. I have already added almost 80 songs to my song book. My question:
Is it possible to start new songbooks with specific names and transfer songs to the particular book I want it in? (I hope that makes sense.)

Re: Exotic Woods (3 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I just recently was fortunate enough to get a Taylor GSK with a koa top. It is as you described it, a very crisp sound. Do not look for a lot of volume when you play it acoustically, but it is quite loud enough. The sustain isn't as great as a rosewood/spruce or actually anything with a spruce or cedar top, but it is just fine.
I love Taylor guitars, so I was pretty sure it would be a great guitar. I am not disappointed.

Re: well of course the acoustic guitar (10 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Having just joined this forum I am catching up on threads that are of interest to me.
I am an acoustic guy and love to talk about guitars. Martins are great guitars and I am fortunate enough to own a 1967 O16 New Yorker, a great little guitar.
That being said, when I went out looking for a dread in December of 97, I tried D28's and HD28's. The salesman then handed me a Taylor 710. told me it was Brazilian rosewood with an Engelmann top. At the time, that didn't mean a thing to me. Now it does. Anyway, I started playing this thing and absolutely could not put it down. Needless to say, it went home with me.
Since then, I have bought and sold several Taylors. I have loved them all, some just more than others. So to me, Taylors are "my" best solid wood guitar.
As far as eastern guitars, I have played some Blueridges that I like and have heard good things about some Guilds, epiphones, and a new one called Sugar Creek, I believe. Having not played sll of them, I couldn't make a very intelligent decision.

Re: Rainsong Guitars - Any good? (21 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I own a Rainsong WS1000 and have owned an Emerald X5. I loved the X5 but decided I didn't need it after I ordered my Rainsong.
The Rainsong is a fabulous guitar with a very unique sound. As a new poster, I need to tell you folks that I am a huge Taylor fan. I own a 710 Brazilian and a custon 314. So I love solid wood guitars.
The Rainsong is the ultimate gigging guitar in my opinion. It will withstand great temp and humidity changes and it stays in tune forever. I don't think I would have it as my only acoustic, but you really could. It also is a great looking guitar. It is a little pricey, but if you look hard, I think you could beat the normal street price. I did have to wait about 3 months after I ordered mine, but my dealer had just taken on the line and didn't have any in stock.
