myles_rose Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 There is a guitar maker out there in the world, that a lot of folks don't know about. His guitars are about 1/3 the cost of anything even remotely close in tone or quality. If you ever priced an ES-175 or L-5, take a look at these. I have a link over to him now on my website as I have been talking to them about an amplifier they are getting ready to put into production. http://www.guitaramplifierblueprinting.com/electrocoustic.html Regards, Myles S.

Dak Lander Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Yeah Myles, I wrote to Dave & requested the demo cd he has available so you can hear what those guitars sound like. I had it within a week. Absloutely awesome. I'll be ordering one of his guitars as soon as I can but I'll be getting one of his pickups first to replace the Fishman on my Guild. Those guys at Ozark have some really nice goods. Our Joint "When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it." The Duke...

Sylver Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Wow, that kind of craftsmanship at those prices? That's unreal. I wish I had an extra $600. I really don't know what to put here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I can usually "hear thru" the recording process and I am sure the guitars and his electronics sound even better live. Regards, Myles S.

I wish I had an extra $600.Sylver, One thing to keep in mind, is that he is selling direct, so there is no store markup. A Fender guitar, or a Gibson etc., is an "A" mark item, meaning a $1000 retail guitar costs the store $500. So .... when these guitars hit the retail stores, you are looking at $1200, rather than the $600. At that point, the stores won't want direct sales anymore, so if you can scrape up the cash now, it may be a good investment, as once the word gets out on these, the prices will surely go up I'd think. Compare it to a $3500 PRS hollowbody, and even at half that price, its still a pretty sweet deal. ... and, its not a mass produced instrument that shows up on every music TV show around.

That was a great movie, but then again, people think I am sometimes a dork because I think Caddy Shack should have received an Oscar.... I mean .... the special effects .... Mr. Gopher, and who is a better actor than Bill Murray? And as far as a musical song .... Chevy Chase singing on the Fender Rhodes piano ... "I was born to love you, I was born to lick your face" .... (can't top that in most movie soundtracks), and the suspense of the pool scene .... I mean that movie had it all! Airplane was also a classic! Regards, Myles S.

Nollykin Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Hahaha. Wow. Those guitars look amazing. What I am confused about is, what is an electro- acoustic? Is it sort of half hollow and half pickuped? I dont get it. maybe I never will Could someone explain?

dave251 Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Nolly- here's a photo from the website....these are rough carved body blanks, from SOLID western red cedar. While the side profile of the guitar is about 1 1/2" thick, the actual thickness of the wood through the center, under the bridge, is about 5/8"...the back is "hollowed out"...this contributes a considerable amount of body resonance, while still being able to reject a lot of feedback problems. The piezo bridge pickup responds to the body resonance, in addition to the neck magnetic picking up string vibrations. http://www.electrocoustic.com/Mvc-018f.jpg Dave Wendler Instruments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards,[/QB]That's exactly what I'm thinking. I record my acoustics as often as I can in my home and when I play out, with mic & pick up, so I know what one sounds like either way and the recorded sound of these guitars makes me believe there is no better system for a solid body guitar that really does sound acoustic. I've had people try to guess whether it's a hollow body or solid body & they can't tell. They all think it's hollow body. I mean, I get the feeling that with this guitar, and the right amp, you could dial in a sound that is pure acoustic guitar to that hollow body, arch top electric. Fits my music perfectly & pretty much kills the feedback problem with mic'ing an acoustic. The other thing I'm waiting for is that new amp they're working on. If they get that figured out, Whew!
