Guitar as wedding present, seeking suggestions

Unread post by schubox » Mon Apr 07, 2003 12:21 am

Ok I am going to be getting married in like a year, and my future wife's parents have some $$ and her mom loves me and its kinda been hinted that she might get me a new guitar as a wedding present (Sweet I know :D ) Well anyways it will probably be between $1000-$1500, but closer to the $1000 side. I am definately leaning towards a Martin or Taylor, just asking for suggestions and models and the best bang for the buck. I trust all you guys, so just asking for some input, thanks!

I still love my CHET...but if you want a good true acoustic then go with a Martin...or if you have $1,600 to spend, try a Lakewood M32...Dave used one for LALC...

Martin DC16RGTE or the Taylor 310ce Ltd. I would get the Taylor personally but they are very similair great guitars. Try them both and pick the one you like.

No he was most def using the lakewood. I think it may even be in the liner notes? Not sure about that, but I know for a fact LALC was a lakewood. Nice guitars, for sure.

This topic has been debated on here before. Myself and most other people on these boards say it's a Lakewood M32 (concert series), as we have some proof of that. But apparently the L@LC tab book claims it's a Martin HD-28... of course, we all know how accurate those can be :roll:

His main guitar on LALC was a HD-28 and the Lakewood was his backup.
