DAS44 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Should I save up to get an acoustic (probably a J-45 Rosewood) or an amp (Mesa express 5:50) I know I've asked this before but it got deleted in the crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 good point... lets assume I had the money now. Okay, nicely played, Dom... Do you have a decent acoustic? If not, buy the J45. There is no substitute for a good acoustic guitar. If I was forced to keep only one of my guitars, it would be an acoustic hands down! However, if you have a good acoustic, scratch the above suggestion and buy a great tube amp. Also, there are a number of great sounding Gibson acoustics that are cheaper than the J45, so don't box yourself in. I paid $600 for my CL10 - used. I love the tone, and everyone who's heard it has been impressed. Would I rather have a J45? Yes. Did I get a great sounding Gibson acoustic for less than half the price of a J45? Yes. The working man and songwriter models are excellent values as well. One of these models might get into a great sounding acoustic AND get you into a great tube amp quicker.

Tim Plains Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Coming from a guy who doesn't play acoustics, get the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, that sounds like a great guitar for slide. Tune it to open D or E and let it rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
