An acoustic amp like the Carvin AG300. I've got one and I like it. They quit making them. To my knowledge no one else is offering all the features the Carvin had (HI Z inputs, 48 volt phantom power, effects, 300 watts, 3-way cabinet, 3 input channels, aux inputs, USB port, speaker pole mountable, can plug in a passive aux cabinet, etc.) for $600 (5 years ago). Say for under $1000 today.
Best acoustic amp I've ever played through, and relatively cheap. |

One question that has to be considered is if the niche can be filled at a price point that is profitable for the builder. Which is why Larrivee eventually stopped making -01 and -03 Parlours, and why when they recommenced the -03s it was at a much higher price point.

My preferences are for designs of 1934 or older, due to my need for wider fretboards, although I believe that the 12 fret Martin designs are superior to the 14 fret rhythm designs. In the '90s, once I realised my needs it took me over three years to find a suitable dreadnought, and it was a Collings, not a Martin. There has long bee a shortage of 12 fret smaller bodies as Martin designed them but rarely made them until very recently, but we have the small factory builders to than - again Collings, Bourgeois, but most recently my wish for a size "0" and "00" have been met by Eastman. Sadly US made guitars - even if available - have effectively priced themselves out of the European market.

Not sure if I need any more Waterloos!
But I thought Gibson might pick up the slack and give fingerpickers a new L-00 with 1 3/4 and 2 3/8 bridge like the (some of) the 1930s models Bill based the first Waterloos on. Sadly, not do far. Current model L-00 has slim neck 1.725 standard Montana Gibson nut and skinny bridge spacing at 2 3/16...... But that is a niche of the niche, eh? And Bill grabbed it! BluesKing777. |

That's a good point. Come on Gibson please listen to us fingerpickers! Another version of the legend or 1938 reissue would do it.... I had the Gibson Keb Mo for a while, great neck 1.805" nut but still only a skimpy 2 3/16" bridge spacing. |

The LG-2 body shape/dimensions under $2600 (Gibson LG-2) guitar.
I was hoping Epiphone was going to do a Inspired By Gibson LG-2 after the success of the IBG J-45, but not yet...

I want thicker neck profiles. I'm tired of the skinny electric guitar necks they put on acoustics these days.

Kind of niche, but I'd like to see reasonably-priced and well made wood-body tri-cone resonator. As it stands, you can either spend $3000+ for a National M1, or one of several "brands" all selling the same cobbled-together garbage under different names (Republic, Royall, etc.).

A MIDI electric guitar that works at least as well as a Jamstik Studio but has better build quality like a U.S. made guitar.
