I have determined that it is time for me to purchase a another guitar. The one I have now is a late Archtop guitar. Archtop guitars are great, I owned it for about 10 years and think it is time for a new one! I likely will buy another Archtop, I just love the way it sounds!! I am a jazz musician and have found that no other guitar compares to the sound of a Archtop. I cannot wait to get a new one.
Although I would like a Archtop my Dad thinks I should get a 12 string guitar. He thinks they sound much brighter, and audio better for the type of music I bring. At times I am tempted to get a 12 string electric guitar. I would like to try something different, since I have been playing a Archtop for so long. I plan on buying a another guitar within the immediate month, I likely will go with a 12 string.
