They did make some nice low cost woodies. I have a small format mid-'60's era Gibson LG-1, it was my dad's and is a great road guitar. Small format likes lighter strings I think.

Post #246,405 by Steve Lowe 2/28/06 3:12:55 PM Reply	Through the PA, not a guitar amp unless, of course, it's a full range acoustic amp. Even then, though, I don't much care for the sound - and opposing curves between my belly and the back of the guitar are a problem. I used to have an Ovation 12. -- Steve [link\|http://www.ubuntulinux.org\|Ubuntu]
