    I used to borrow the house guitar at The Bedford in Balham which was a 2004 Dove, and was excellent...in fact the guitar that ignited my love for the Dove. If it's well played, it's probably a good 'un. I'd go along and try it!

    My local pub guitar is a hondo 

    What kind of posh place are you drinking in 🤣

    Does the Perfect Guitar simply exist?

    I'm guessing that back before the Internet people in general tended to live contentedly with far fewer things. Now with forums like this you can surround yourself with a virtual community of like-minded individuals. In this case many of these individuals own more than one guitar (or many, many more). All of a sudden such behavior becomes normalized (even though most people would not consider it normal). That is not to say that there haven't always been people with a tendency to collect things. In addition people buying guitars more than 25 years ago or so were probably far less likely to discuss so often and in such detail things such as the impact of tonewoods, size and construction. This doesn't just apply to guitars but all kinds of different things: cameras, hifi gear, motorcycles, cars, you name it. For a lot of people I believe such information leads to less contentment with what is already owned and more desire for what is not — rinse, wash and repeat.

    In the end I believe that the perfect guitar has less to do with the guitar itself and more to do with the outlook of the individual playing it. 

     

    I reckong you're  exactly right 

    Forums etc are an excellent resource and I'm many ways a great thing , but obviously  , for some , its ruining a potentially happier situation .

    People cant visit a restaurant anymore without spending a half hour reading that 'doris' from 'wherever' only gave it 3 stars .... and the chances are that doris is a pain in the *** and you couldn't please her. 

     

     

    Same thing goes on here

    Beautiful. I've always been a Gibson player and they are always my go-to, but have recently developed a real soft spot for Martins. I have a D18GE prototype from 1997 which is magnificent, and have recently put a deposit on a 1970 D35 which is one of the greatest sounding guitars I've ever had in my lap. 

    This album better sell well 🤣

    You're spending money like a saudi prince

    Yeah  none too shabby Doug !

     

    Bit closer to the mic with the vocals would've helped perhaps,  good stage patter though you're a natural show off  ! 

    Hope you're going to do more 

     

    Who was it said , with a 12 string guitar you spend half your life tuning it and the other half playing out of tune 

    But it was nowhere near as bad as you think it was

    J45 finish marked

    I've had capos on every guitar for months at a time and never had an issue ever 

    Sorry to see your new guitar with a mark on it 

     

    Could it be new guitars are more susceptible due to the lacquer maybe not totally cured yet or something ?
