Default How many AGF forums do you frequent?

My typical daily run through the AGF starts with General Acoustic Guitar Discussion, and then I scroll down to Record (a pretty sleepy place but sometimes with great stuff). After that I'll try Acoustic Ampification, but there's usually nothing there for me, with the exception of a little love thrown at the Fishman Loudbox Mini, to which I enthusiastically contribute.

I always seem to save some time to lurk around in AGF Classifieds – Guitars, even though I am most certainly NOT ready to buy a guitar. There I've been exposed to many exotic makers and brands. One recent benefit to me was that when I saw Marc Cohn live at the Freight and Salvage I was able to discern that he was playing a Waterloo WL 14, a brand I had not heard of before AGF.

Occasionally I've drifted over to AGF Classifieds – Other just out of curiosity.

Very recently I've seen some terrific stuff in Show and Tell.

And that's been largely it for me. What about you?

I only frequent general discussion, show and tell, play and write and open mic. I might pop into record or amplification if I am looking for something specific.

Aside from this main forum I occasionally spend time on the other musical instruments subforum, the guitars for sale and the miscellaneous items for sale subforums, and Open Mic.

For me, more often than not it's the New Posts page. I don't pay that much attention to which sub-forum I'm on as much as the topic being discussed.

Smile Custom Shop

I start off with the stuff and guitars for sale, and very rarely actually buy something. Hahah

Then on to the Custom Shop which I prefer to call the Luthier’s corner. Mind wonderfully blown there on a regular basis!

Occasionally I check in here too. Very rarely elsewhere…

Cheers

Paul

I do General and often hop over to Guitar Sales to check the amazing instruments -- brands that I've never played -- and wonder what I'm missing.

General Acoustic Guitar Discussion, Play and Write, and Open Mic.

Once in a great while I'll check some of the others, but only if I see something in the "Last Post" column that catches my attention. I seldom go to the classifieds.

I mostly keep an eye on the general discussion…with an occasional glance at the guitar classifieds.

Fairly similar to your approach:

Acoustic Amplification
Carbon Fiber
Record
General
Classifieds

Rinse and repeat.

I'm pretty much the same as Roy with an occasional glance at "open mic".

This one and a few times a week I go through the for sale section to drool a bit.

Record, Play and Write, Amplification, Show and Tell. I just started a thread that would have gone into the Live Performance forum, but there isn't one.

I usually use Today on the AGF as my starting point and go wherever the subjects look interesting.

Carbon Fiber, General and Open Mic are probably my most frequent stops.
