I
bought a lovely Takamine GS330S acoustic guitar when I got to New York,
a lot like this one but the top of mine is much nicer: mine has a
darker, more even, and tighter grained cedar. The satin finish looks
great on it. I tried so many guitars, but when I first played this one
I knew it was the one I would get -- it had exactly the type of tone I
was searching for and plays really nicely. If I had a decent mic I
would make a recording of it...
... but I don't.
When
I was down in Tennessee with my parents I stopped by a music shop and
picked up a Hohner Blues Harp (in A) to complement my Lee Oskar (in
D). The Blues Harp has a thinner sound, the draw is definitely pretty
blusey sounding, but I think I prefer the Oskar's tone -- much more
substance and body, and it really belts it out when pushed!
