Hello folks. I am new to this forum but not new to guitar.  I have been
reading the "threads" and thought I would share some reviews. I have played
quite a few acoustics lately in the search for the most guitar for the buck.
Kind of like getting a fantastic bottle of wine for under ten dollars. I do
have a friend in Baltimore who has a small guitar shop and he has an
interesting variety of boxes to sell. His high end guitars are Larravie (sp?)
which I absolutely love but need to save up for. He has a line of Hohners
which I was impressed with as he gave me this nice gem of a dreadnought to
play. I don't remember the model but it was black and, get this, all ebony.
Ebony back, sides and top. It was under $400.00 and stunning. It had light
gauge strings on it and crispy highs and loud bass with a great balance
between. I do think it could tolerate heavier gauge strings for the double
pickers. I think he said it was made in Korea but I am not sure. Other than
this, he had a Simon and Patrick 12 string that was under $400.00 that was
also delightful.  Another bargain that I am seriously considering is a Luna
Trinity parlor guitar. It is also just under $400.00 and it has a cutaway
with electronics. Musician's Friend has these and I want something of that
size. The soundhole is an interesting shape with three leaves with abalone
inlay. You should Google it and take a look.  Oh well, so many guitars, so
little time ;)
