Guess I'll just keep on wondering for at least the next six seconds or so. Hey! What's for lunch? RBSinTo I guess I'll just go look for a 26-minute review by "a guy." That really narrows it down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have played the G-Songwriter and G-200, as mentioned earlier. The G-Songwriter was a fine guitar, if not to my taste. I'd happily recommend it to someone if it met their preferences and budget. I wish the G-200 hadn't been damaged. I'm simply curious what surprises are inside, as someone who actually looked inside one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking there is probably some bracing in there and maybe a small woodland creature hiding in the lower bout. Your curious as to what is there, what do you think is in there. Ever look inside your guitar with the strings off with an inspection mirror? It's pretty much a lot of empty space and bracing. And now with a second hole its easier to see or get your pick if it falls inside the guitar. I think retrieving your pick is the only plus for this beast. Edited October 12, 2021 by Sgt.

I'm just curious what "interesting stuff" is inside this particular series that I'm expected to scour the internet to find a single, unnamed YouTube review to learn about. 20 hours ago, Hall said: They cut the guitar and there was interesting stuff on the inside. fyi 18 hours ago, RBSinTo said: Are you going to tell us what they found inside, or are we supposed to guess? 2 hours ago, Hall said: RBSin To: No, I'm not telling. I'm not buying one either. Just thought some folks might want to go to YouTube and watch the video for themselves. I'm beginning to remember why I took an eight-year hiatus from this forum. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes / No? Yeah that RBS guy. I'm gonna send him another message to cool his jets. Edited October 12, 2021 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvi Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I for one , and maybe there are others , who have a sound hole mirror and use it to see the bridge plate, check out wiring, sometimes double check bridge pins and perhaps just inspect to see if its clean and tidy work... often on new guitars...no sniffing tho....

What a fantastic informative segment - with intelligent talk, appropriate demo playing... Wow, yes. Very nice. That's a pair of serious sounding guitars, there. These sound much better than the 2015 and a 2016 614 & 314 I had before the "Bird flu" hit me in 2018. These guys also have Lowdens. I had not even heard of these guys until someone from down that way came up here to by a Tele from me and told me about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was more impressed with the soft case than the guitar. I must be yesteryear plus on the case thing. I thought he was pretty harsh on the guitar. It sounded ok to me on decent speakers. I saw his point on a lot of stuff, but not every negative point. And, it passed some criticals. I ran into the review on another site by chance. I guess it is on YouTube also. They cut the guitar and there was interesting stuff on the inside. fyi I am setting up my 000-18 and with the strings off I snapped 2 pics of the inside. See like I told everyone a lot of empty space and bracing. I so wanted a small woodland creature to be in there though. Edited October 16, 2021 by Sgt.

Why don't you check it out, or are you of the camp that says"don't confuse me with facts - I've already made up my mind"? The review deals with much more than what you can hear on lousy speakers.
