Not sure if you guys share your basic gear profile or anything like that but it usually spurs some pretty interesting conversations...

My main geet is a Taylor 814ce I've had for just over a year now. It's absolutely beautiful and my first real 'serious' guitar.
My backup is a Martin DM - basically their entry model. About 13 years old. For nearly the last 2 years it's been strung to Dave's High-B tuning. This guitar got my through my tough times - got it when I had never let a person on earth hear me perform. Since, I've done plenty more things to be more embarrassed about so singing and playing mediocrely for others to hear has fallen far down the list ;).

I now play through a Bose L1 Compact, and their T1 ToneMatch processor. The sound is absolutely amazing. I've spent the last 15+ years struggling with the ability to amplify an acoustic guitar without a masters degree in sound engineering. This setup is idiot-proof.

Besides the N/D767a mic and Boss TU-2 tuner (most accurate I've ever plugged into, not saying much) which ids quickly becoming obsolete with the built in tuner in Bose's ToneMatch processor that's about my entire setup.

Nothing special with the cables. I do spring for the Hercules stands - mic and duel guitar. I just like the sturdiness of them.

Whatcha guys got?! I'm bored - just moved - no gigs - talk to me!

I've always wanted to try that Bose system.
