                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I went out today and bought a Taylor GA3E, it is a all solid wood acoustic.  Spruce top, sapele back and sides, grand auditorium body style, and the taylor expression system in it for the electric part. I'll try to post some pictures up some time soon, I don't own a camera so I have to wait to borrow one from my little bro.<br><br>It looks like this:  <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/item--TAYGA3">http://www.zzounds.com/item--TAYGA3</a><br><br>the only difference is that it has the taylor electronics in it, the owner of the store said it must have been a custom order because he didn't know of it ever being offered with electronics.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Well I have narrowed down the body styles that I like.  I played a lot of different types over the past few weeks and I really like the jumbo and the smaller body shapes.  I like the midrange of the smaller body and the jumbos have a big bass, a lot of midrange, and of course more volume.  I'm going tomorrow to try out some more guitars, hopefully I find something I like.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have sworn by a company called Vintage for the last few years.  I own a VEC1600 electro acoustic and a V800 dreadnought acoustic, and they have some of the best tone I've ever heard -- bright but with a solid low end.  They're reasonably priced, durable, and stylish.  Check them out:<br><br><a href="http://www.jhs.co.uk/intro.htm">http://www.jhs.co.uk/intro.htm</a>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I've been looking online at the Epiphone Masterbilt line but I think when I go to GC i'll check out one of those Epi hummingbirds.  <br><br>I'm just hoping that the Guitar Center in Orlando has all the different brands that I want to try.  I've only been there 2 times when I first started playing guitar a few years ago and it seems like everyone is always bad mouthing them online.  I'm hoping their selection is large enough to get an idea of what i want and their quality are up to par with the local shops]]></content:encoded>
