My Fender would sound better with a better player. Hahahahah It's me in sure. I have Taylor and it sounds just as bad proving its me

My Fender 140nat was $210 on CL + $50 for a great Gator case. I’ve added a Colosi bone saddle+pins, SantaCruz strings. Basically I’m squeezing blood out of a turnip but it actually sounds quite good. I figure that once I get a Martin, I’ll keep this pup as backup, deck playing when I’m sweating all over it, travel warrior, etc. Just throwing that thought out there...

I play a Gibson....BUT...it is a J-60 which was built to rival a D-28. Gibson made them from 1992-1999 and then again in 2005 and 2013. Mine is a 2005. It is not rosewood but walnut. My bud has a '52 D-18 and the 2 guitars sound very much alike. I love my j-60 and it has been with me a while. So not a fair comparison vs traditional Gibson model but it is a great Gibson nonetheless.

I don’t even have an amp. I have a 10 year old concert ukulele with electronics that’s never seen a plug too

I just put my Fender on Craig’s list for sale. After hearing it on recording I do need a better guitar

I recorded myself playing today. I’ve decided my guitar sounds like poo. I’m going to off it and get a better guitar.

@jerseychicadee I have to say that a really nice guitar does make you a better guitar player, because you want to play it more. I took the leap and bought the Martin D-18 this spring and have never regretted it. I have played more the past 4 months than I have the past 4 years, because I just have so much fun with it. I wish I could have had this guitar about 40 years ago.
