Couple of pics of my stable
Hello all....my first post, although I admit to lurking on this forum for several months now. Thought I'd post a couple of pics of my guitars. Been playing since I was 14 (I'm now 63) but there was about a 30 year gap when work and family kept me from playing much at all. I played mostly electrics until just recently (about a year and a half ago) when I discovered acoustics. Now most all my electrics are gone! Anyway, I'm now retired and have hooked up with a small bluegrass group. We entertain the residents at an assisted living facility weekly and I go to a couple of jams a month. Been having a ball. To the pics:
Martin HD-28. My main go-to guitar. I love it's rich sound and it's loud!    PRS SE Angelus Custom. I bought this one for the times when it got a little too crowded on the stage. I thought this one would be my knock-around guitar but it's a tad too nice for that. It doesn't compare sound wise to the HD-28 but it's not bad in its own right. I had a Fishman pickup system intalled in it and it sounds good through the amp. I'm still going to have to look for a truck guitar.    Martin 000-15M. This one is my latest acquisition and it is SWEET! My first all mahagony guitar. Has a sound all its own and it's very comfortable to play. I do like the 000 body style.     All the setups on these guitars were done by Jim Hewett of Hewett Guitars. He does a fantastic job. These pics aren't the greatest...I'm not much of a photographer.

Zeke,
I found a very high end PRS locally and played it and was majorly impressed. So I ordered the cheap-o through Sweetwater and had to wait a while before I received it. It's nicer than I had expected.

Welcome to AGF. Nice guitars and pics! I always enjoy seeing what other players have in their stable.
On a different thread, earlier today I mentioned I had no intention of buying a new acoustic (I have two) unless I came across a particularly inviting parlor style guitar. Now that I've seen your mahogany 000, I guess I should add one more 'possibility'.

I had to run out for for a while but thanks so much for the warm welcome. I've learned a lot lurking (I didn't even know what a "nut" was and was too embarrassed to ask)! I've gotten so much pleasure from these things...can't believe it took me so long to get back into playing music.
