More possibilities: The Acoustic acrostic soundboard soundbite eg: Loads Of Worldwide Despots Encourage Nastiness or, even: Get Under Insulated Tarpaulins Artistically Repaired How about: A branch which, when beaten with another branch or twig, reverberates widely. You could call this an Echo Stick Sounds Broad.

I don't know the actual guitar you mean (is it this one? www.andertons.co.uk/electro-acoustic-guitars/pid21968/cid679/fender-cd320asce-dreadnought-electro-acoustic-guitar.aspBut Fender acoustics are notoriously inconsistent. I have one from 1983 that was my picnic guitar until last year and is ok. At their best I believe they can represent very good value, but sometimes they need setting up. It seems the quality control process isn't as good as some. I've played probably 10 or 15 over the years. My opinion comes from that. Generally quality control is higher now than it used to be, so because my experience with Fender acoustics is spread over time, I may be treating them unfairly and am happy to stand corrected if anybody has more recent experience. But as with all batch built guitars, play as many as you can, find one you like and buy that one. The quality won't be consistent throughout the batch.

Great thread, this. I don't think it's a folk music forum either (and, Leo, thanks for the name check. Men In Black play discarded pop music of the sixties and seventies, predominantly - "covers from decades ago" as you so aptly wrote). But what the analysis of ages poll showed quite strongly was that most members of this forum were young when folk clubs were in their heyday and the 60's folk revival was in full swing. Perhaps that's influenced us and made it look like we concentrate on folk music. But we're just old! But there are many of us who would not be welcome to play in some folk clubs (the dyed-in-the-wool traditional type) although my recent experience of folk clubs is that they welcome pretty much anything as long as it's fully acoustic. I played "Born To Be Wild" in my local one a little while ago. I don't think under any definition that could be called a folk song, but everybody knew the words and sang along. So I guess I'm saying that, not only is this forum ill defined as a folk music forum, but lots of folk clubs (not all) are ill defined as folk clubs. "That's just the name of the shop, Sir" As for what constitutes "Folk Music", I prefer your definition iii). So, Missclarktree, you don't say how you define folk music? It'd be great to know because I'd then have some insight into why you think this is a folk music forum. I'd also love to hear what you play. Any chance of putting something into the Plucky Duck?

Blue guitars and coated strings are wrong. I'll get my coat. Aha! So coated strings are wrong, but coated jugbandmen are OK. Seems a bit stringist to me! You are, of course, completely right about blue guitars. Does that make me colour prejudiced?

Coo, that's a nice one. I've just got 2 of his standard straps and am very pleased with them, but that's really styly.

Encouraged by Ms Wild Violet, I have also indulged myself and have bought 2 straps from Mr Breeden. He gave me discount for ordering 2 at once and throughout the process of order to delivery (2 days!) kept me informed in chatty and pleasant emails. So a big thumbs up from me for Bear straps, too. Thanks for the recommendation, Lynn.

Have you got a digital recorder, Maninashed? I think someone's already suggested that in this thread, but if you record them both with the mic placement identical in each case, that might help you decide. Of course, the room will be different, but perfection is hard to achieve.

Have a look at thisNow, be honest, which one are you? I reckon I'm a cross between the middle man and the folkie, probably more like the latter. Kingston Trio, anyone?
