Who plays music?

I really lack in that department.  My acoustics are Takamine.  I have a Santa Fe TSF40C model and another mid-tier one.

I have an old 80s model Washburn that has pretty good tone.  I don't know the model off hand at the moment.

They play pretty easily, but I definitely could use an upgrade.

I was looking at Taylors but nothing in the price range some of the ones you got!  Probably $1,500 - $2,200 range max.


So how do you like the Mark V?

I bought a combo Mark V from Sweetwater a couple years back, and thought it had some great sounds but wasn't what I was looking for.

I sent it back, because for the price tag...  I wasn't in love with it.

Maybe I should have gotten the head and a 2x12 cab?

Actually the amp I'd like to give a try is a Bogner Shiva.  Ever try one of those?

Takamine acoustics are probably some of the best sounding when plugged in acoustics around.  My Mk5 is the 10/45/90 combo amp, and I love it. I really only use the clean channel because I play through a pretty extensive pedal board. (I'm a gear junkie and in reality have way more gear than talent) I also got mine from Sweetwater. It was a return, so it was deeply discounted. I asked my rep what was wrong with it and he looked it over and said the only thing he could see was a small scratch on the faceplate. When I got it, I could not see any scratch, but the reverb did not work. I unplugged and reversed the 2 wires in the back and it works perfectly. (Evidently they got pulled out and someone put them back in backwards. Never had a bit of problem with it and still don't see any scratch) I've never tried the Bogner Shiva. I think if I ever get another amp I would like to try a VOX
