It sounds phenomenal- actually has a VERY bright sound to it, which is what was missing from my old acoustic guitar (some piece of crap learners thing). It has an EQ on the pickup and I've actually toned the treble down a bit and given the bass a kick just to get the earthiness out on some songs.
The looper is fantastic. I'll post some demos soon, I've already worked out a couple awesome tunes with it. Still so much to learn though.
Wow fantastic Matt! Acoustic looks and sounds awesome. Funnily enough I went into the local music store today returning the bass I had rented for recording, and I said to my girlfriend as a joke "I'll probably see something I want to buy" and I saw a beautiful acoustic that I think I'm going to pick up on wednesday Yamaha dreadnought acoustic/electric with a cutaway not too different from yours!
And loopers are just awesome pieces of gear to have. You can write using them, jam with them, and just have fun with them. I do'nt know how many songs I've written using a looper.
You have an electric burnout right now, which is something really understandable - even desirable every now and then.
I wish I had my own 6 strings acoustic, the 12-strings is surely great but offers little versatility, and not all songs can be played there. Borrowing my grandfather's or a friend's acoustic is nice but not quite the same as having my own one. I might save for a Takamine like my grandfa's:
If he and The Boss play one, it's definitely good enough for me
