Default Introduction, some guitars and imminent NGD

Hi,

I finally got around to registering having enjoyed browsing the forum for years. I've been playing acoustic guitar for a little over 25 years.

Some pictures of what I currently have: There's a D17M which I had fitted for an LR Baggs M80 and I really love that guitar so much.

There's also a GPC12PA4 which is a recent acquisition. I do like this guitar a lot, but I have to say I am not finding the adjustment straightforward. It's a brand new fresh from PA build and hasn't settled down for me yet.

I keep a Takamine G72 around which I bring to places I don't really want to bring the D17 to. It's a fantastic guitar for the money - unbelievably good action straight from the box and lovely tone. Pretty decent plugged in too.

I have something incoming that I probably should not have picked up and will be my first 000 body, and that's it, I'm set for life. I also play piano/keyboards so there are space constraints beginning to get a little stretched! Will update with pics and info regarding the new arrival when it lands during the week.

I also included one pic of me and my older boy from a few years back. He's started piano lessons and sooner or later I have no doubt will want to try guitar.

Nice to make your acquaintance. I have really enjoyed this forum over the years and hope to participate properly now.

Welcome!! The D17M looks like a beast. Is it deeper than a standard dread?

Nope it's a standard size just some funny/bad lighting affecting how the top looks - I see what you mean.
