Default Acoustic Guitarists Never Say
What words do acoustic guitarists never say? I'll start, but use your own experience, that of others, your full wit or even half of it!

"No thanks. My Grandmother bought this Esteban guitar for me off the TV, and besides, I've never even heard of Stromberg, Somogyi, Olson, or Traugott Guitars. Never have seen any of them at Guitar Center, either. I have heard of Taylor, but didn't know she built guitars, too..."

I sure wish acoustic guitarists would never say "axe". I cringe every time I hear or read it.

The best body tone wood is all Balderd Ash.

Never fails to slay my logic when an electric player talks tone wood.

LOL!

"I'll never spend $2,000 on an acoustic - ever". I think I actually said that and now I'm a few guitars over that.

To borrow from two previous posts:

I'll trade my Olson for your two banjos - straight up!

LOL. I've played Slayer on my acoustic before, but only the intro to Seasons in the Abyss which can be played on the acoustic.

Set it up as low as you can without any fret buzz
