brettthain1 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 An Epiphone hummingbird is pretty, and sounds great too! If I was to pick up an acoustic guitar, it'll have to be pretty thin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robkevertson Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Had a Taylor 214 and was unimpressed although each guitar is different so I wouldnt rule out another taylor at some point.. I have never owned an acoustic like my old takamine En 40.. Japanese acoustic and I owned it for over a decade. I would have to dig deep in my pockets to match its sound and that wont happen soon lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Don't just stop at a gig bag either. Kit yourself out in Taylor clobber, from head to toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Moon Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Went down to Edinburgh and trade. We traded then I get a call from him an hour later telling me that it wasn't picking up the e and b string on the amp which is utter crap as I was playing it the other day. So I trade back, take the takamine to red dog and try it out and was working fine. Couldn't take the takamine back on the bus so had to trade it for a looper. Waste of my fucking time and money.

givemeasmile Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) How were you planning on getting the Taylor back? Or would the bus driver not have given you any hassle because of the Taylor gig bag? Edited July 21, 2014 by givemeasmile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Moon Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 There was no space in overhead and I wasn't putting it down bellow as there was no case so it was too risky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givemeasmile Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I don't see the logic in trading it for a looper that you immediately describe as a waste of your "fucking time and money". This is just another example of your addiction to gear swapping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 You should have just called him a sucker, hung up and jumped a bus back to Aberdeen as a renowned Taylor aficionado. Now you're the sucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Moon Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 My mum told me to tell him I was on the bus but I felt bad, it was either the looper or nothing. The takamine most likely would've taken some damage on the way back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get him to show you the problem when you went back? If you were sure it worked fine he may have been stupid or something. looks like he got cold feet after the deal to me. Also taking the Taylor back in the boot in just a gig bag would have surely been a bit risky too I would have thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it wasn't picking up the e and b string but picked up fine on the tuner which is attached to the peizo and it wouldn't pick up those strings if it wasn't working would it?

KSJ81 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Makes sense on the sizes. I'm no expert on built in tuners so don't have a clue. If I was to guess I'd say it may depend on whether the tuner has an independent mic that picks up the sound or if the tuner takes its sound from the pickup. Anyway nae luck and hope you get sorted with a replacement soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Moon Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 It's a under saddle peizo therefore is picks up the strings. If it picks up that and displays it, it means it's working fine. Battery is fine as I tested it and therefore he was speaking crap. I can even provide recordings with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Or you could have bought a cheap guitar bag from the music shop that you were in. What kind of looper did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 What on earth is going on? You swapped a guitar for a looper you didn't want after getting the bus to Edinburgh because, although you took an acoustic down on the bus, you couldn't take one back?! That sounds completely batshit mental. Even if it's a jumbo, put it between your legs (oo-er) and take it home. Madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
