hey nice cover! is that a vintage FG-180? I own an FGX5 but I have the feeling the older ones are more resonant and louder just based out of recordings I hear on RUclips and of course from Elliot's performances...
Thank you! It is indeed a vintage FG-180, and at first I wasn't looking to get one. But at some point I got curious and thought why not have a look and see. It took a fair while to find one in a reasonable condition, considering they're over fifty years old now. The guitar needed some work done, but nothing too major. Overall the condition was pretty good. The FGX5 looks and sounds fantastic. But I think over time guitars, (especially acoustics) tend to age like fine wine so to speak. There're probably some exceptions of course, but I feel more often than not this is true.
Sounds great😌
Cheers!
That sounds so good!
Thank you!
What is it that stops you from singing? Loved your playing!
Thank you! I do sing on some of my other covers, but it depends on if I feel my voice can do the song justice.
