Looks for- Acoustic with Growl
Hi Acoustic Addicts-
I am looking for an acoustic guitar with growl, especially one that will be good for songs with drop d tuning. So something that has growl but also adds to those kinds of bass heavy, round chord tones. Any recommendations? Last edited by richie0801; 09-23-2016 at 01:41 PM. |

A guitar made of laminated woods will have fewer overtones and more growling characteristics.

Probably a lot won't agree, but I find OM-28 to be quite satisfying in the Growl department. Really sexy growl, but a growl all the same. Someday I'ma buy one.

Is there a sound clip or video that has this "growl" that you speak of?

Something made out of "dogwood"? and played with a Red Bear?
Poor jests I know - I just don't really know what you mean by growl. Sounds like distortion to me. Are you looking for a bass heavy sound ?

Growl comes from the player not the guitar.

Can someone please define 'growl' ?
I've heard the term used, sometimes with a Martin referenced, but haven't a clue what it might sound like. Perhaps a heavy bass rumbling? My Aussie growls at night when he hears sounds that he deems inppropriate - He's usually quite unpleasant and perturbed when he goes to see what caused the noise. Be a shame if it was some poor guy playing a bass heavy Martin guitar - - - Last edited by Montesdad; 09-23-2016 at 12:09 PM. |

...i always described the tone of my Santa Cruz OM/PW as a throaty growl...especially when you dig in..kinda like the top of the guitar is being overdriven...but not quite...and yeah it excelled at drop D and open tunings where the bass response became even fatter...
