making that damnable trip on

Rincon Norteno restaurant.
Oh-boy... Good stuff.
DC> Anybody with a G4 have any luck with an expansion chassis?
I've been using a 13 slot magma with my dual 800 G4 for several years now.
(Full load of EDS cards and a couple UAD-1 cards.) Works great...

It's breach of contract at the least (the EULA is a contract,
since you have to agree to it), and consumer fraud at worst, if
you've legitimatley purchased something and are subsequently
denied the right to use it.

Once again, thanks! I'm probably going to order up in a day or two. I'm
trying to decide which tower to scavenge. I've got a couple of atx 'putes

Before I commit to an actual purchase, I wanted to ask around for any

I'll get much traction with my planned budget (as a reference, the 714CE
would cost around $2800). I don't know many luthiers, and the ones I do know
have a worldwide reputation (and are therefore not making guitars for
$2800 - more like $5k and up).
While reading Taylor reviews, I've seen several references to the Martin
OMC-Aura, so I went to try it out. I found it to be incredibly ugly, but
quite playable, although the action is typical Martin (i.e. high action, a
guitar that you have to dig in hard). Since I play mostly electric, the nice
low action of Taylors is appealing to me.
Anyone out there able to make some suggestions? General or specific, good or
bad, I'm quite open to any ideas.

>A key factor is what kind of music you want to play on the "acoustic
electric" If you play Bluegrass,it's different than if you play Jazz..You
can make a "AE" out of any acoustic guitar...thare are many good sounding
systems out there to install (Baggs,Fishman etc)...Taylors are good...but
they don't hold up well if you travel much..(I've had 3 of them,sold them
all ) Check out some of the top of the line Takamines,Seagull,Collings...The
Taylor hybrid is cool...but the good ones are very expensive..the lower ones
suck (imho)

I'd try out a Breedlove before settling on the Taylor for sure. Very nice,
modern guitar, not a Martin/Gibson copy. They make some in the price range
you're talking about.

The Taylors you mention are both fine guitars. I own a 410ce and a 356ce
12-string and absolutely love them.
I think you'll find that once you get to the 400-series that there isn't
a tremendous difference in overall sound, but more subtle differences due
to the tone woods.
However, 400-series up will get you the "Taylor" sound. Really useful, especially
if you're planning on playing acoustic leads.
My duo partner plays a very high-end Guild, which has a much more rounded
and mellow sound as compared to the Taylor. The two instruments sound great
together.
BTW, I went to the store with cash in hand to buy my first Martin and I left
with my first Taylor!
Hope this helps.

>For live acoustic guitar gigs I currently use a Line 6 Variax 700
Acoustic modeling guitar. This is the one that looks like an acoustic
guitar, not the PRS-ish looking electric 700 version, although I have
one of those too.
The acoustic 700 VAX sounds quite good through the PA. It doesn't feed
back. Even when using the built-in compressor which is really nice to
use on fingerpicked songs.
Acoustically it's fairly quiet, good for late night practicing without
waking anyone. But without plugging it in, it's not a booming
sing-around-the-campfire acoustic guitar.
It has multiple guitar models to choose from including several that are
bread and butter, plus a few non-guitar models like banjo, sitar and
mandella.
It also can do alternate tunings on the fly (via DSP so not quite as
great as tuning them yourself, but for live it's fine and - important
for shows - instant). It can also imitate a 12 string (again via DSP).
It looks good, with nice grain on the top. It's has a shallow body. It
plays well. The upper strings have 24 frets, very rare for an acoustic.
It's more affordable than a high-end acoustic, and therefore less of a
risk at gigs. It sounds as good or better through a PA than any other
acoustic guitar I've heard.
The only acoustic guitar thing it doesn't do well is body slaps, which
is probably why it never feeds back.
The output is mono. I do use it for recording direct sometimes. It sits
nicely in the track and is good for L/R panned part doubling using
different models.
Cheers,
-Jamie

You'd only use them on a cart..not for average "run & gun ' situations,
where the mixer is over your shoulder. Ie SD 442 or Sony DMX-PO1 or Shure FP

>HIDan-
The Taylor 714 is a very nice guitar. Taylors are actually pretty good for
amping and recording, they're well balanced. I had a 612 C- 3 part back,
all maple,
and it was a great guitar, very even, but too bright and not enough bottom
end for the acoustic stuff I do. I switched to a Lowden 010, that has a fabulous
low end, and enough balance throughout. A very big sounding guitar. I run
it through the Baggs M1 Active and a para DI. People usually comment on the
big, but beautiful tone.
Having said that, I switch a fair bit back and forth between electric and
acoustic
and the neck is a bit wide for me to make the switch as smoothly as I would
like.
So, while I love its tone, I'm planning on moving to a guitar with a neck
closer
to that of the Strat, PRS, Tele etc that I also play.
I echo Thad's recommendation of a Collings, these are fantastic guitars.
I also am
loving Santa Cruz which have a couple of models in that price range - the
Pre War issues - OM/PW, D/PW. I likely will end up with the D/PW which is
as
big as I need, but also sweet and clear enough for fingerstyle.
Here is a helpful link to a comparison of guitars in the $2K - $3K range.
http://www.acousticguitar.com/issues/ag107/feature107.html
I think you're in Ottawa, (from your email addy) so check to make sure the
prices have come down with the recent growth of the CDN $.
Hope this is helpful,
Ted
