Nice one Alun - what inspired this purchase? I see this is a semi acoustic - is this the reason or was it something else?

Hi Olly,

I was just checking the sale goods and spotted it, It is sold as a starter guitar, comes with strap, strings, picks, Dvd, you know the stuff, I liked it instantly and when I picked it up to play, well that was it, This is a very good Guitar, the finish is flawless, it has an on board chromatic tuner, 4 band EQ, plus cable balance socket and control, (Low Hz-Hi Hz) die cast tuners, it just is very nice,

Wow you are going to have a right collection of acoustics.

I have several guitars but I tend to only use two, one acoustic and one electric. I neve need to use my others - :

So what makes you choose to play one guitar over another at any given time? Do you have a favourite?

Looks smart.
Like App I have been thinking over a Acoustic for some time.

I usually choose a guitar to suit what I'm playing as they all have such different sounds, as far as favorite's go, probably my Yamaha FG160, as it's been with me 30 odd years,

Hi Apache, Hi James,

You really should have an acoustic, they're just such a different animal, don't wait around get one, it will open a new world for you,

Hey, Alun. It seems that you are mad about music. Ashton D25CEQ looks nice. It seems that you are frequent buyer of such things. Even me too.

Hi Alun, i didn't get where i am today by being there, so i went somewhere else.

Sweet buy on the ashton 12. Mine is just an Acoustic. when i went looking for a 12 string, i tried out a great many, some almost 5 times the price i paid for mine, and i just kept going back to it. I wasn't going to buy it because of the price, it was just to cheap, but it felt just right, and had a great sound, so despite the fact it was cheap, i bought it anyway. I am so glad i did, It's a great guitar.

Moral of the story is, just coz it's cheap, doesn't mean it's gonna be a crap guitar.

Hi Rick, good to see you here

I looked at the acoustic several times, loved it but as I still have the Yamaha 12 string I bought off you several years ago, It seemed the perfect reason to go electro/ acoustic, the moment I saw and played this one I had to have it,

No the FG-411 here together on the settee with my FG160,

I used it to record let it bleed, and a couple of others here on the forum, still a good Guitar,
