Location: Budd Lake, NJ | I can't imagine Gertrude with anything but a rosette, Jewel with anything but her epaulettes or Jazzey (the Tornado) with anything but F-holes. I feel sorry for Blanca (the Viper)--no decorations at all. People comment on how beautiful Jewel is--but they really notice how Gertrude sounds.
(Looks aside, what mostly blows people out of the water with the Ol' Lady and her little sister is how incredibly easy they are to play.)

Keep in mind, I only tell people what I think, not what THEY should think. Some folks prefer things that I do not. I like things that others dispise. It's all cool.

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Do you guys prefer the Elite-style multi-soundholes, or the Legend-style traditional soundhole? Why? YES, Because they both look and sound great.
And as far as the "outies" are concered, I prefer them to the inward-pointing epaulets, and I am the farthest thing from being gay. As a matter-of-fact, if I HAD to be gay, Id be a flaming lesbian. |

Guitars Dave, only guitars...Perhaps not the best play on words (thought about it after I had sent it in); Dave, we may have our differences and we're both opinionated, but you know I highly respect ya, my friend! You have one of the finest collections of instruments I have ever seen...someday I'd like to see them in person! When I saw that pic, I just couldn't resist!

There's actually a very interesting story behind that 1587, and reminds me that you can't paint guitars with too broad a brush. Saying this model or that model is such and such has it's limitations. You really need to talk about individual specific guitars. Case in point, this 1587. It's a regular old Adamas I and should sound like all the rest. But it doesn't. For reasons I can not explain, this particular guitar just HONKS. I wish I knew what is was. It's just clearer, louder, more sustain, etc. than any others I have ever heard. This guitar has "it", whatever "it" is.
You are welcome to visit and play my guitars anytime, my friend.
Dave |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | Acoustically, my 2005 (centre hole, contour bowl) absolutely eats the 1768 elite (deep bowl) from the player's perspective. If you're listening to someone else play them, the elite's sound improves enormously, but I still prefer the 05's punchier sound.
I haven't enough plugged in experience with either to comment on that aspect. The one time I did play them through a PA, I was very happy with both.
Appearance wise. I'll always prefer the centre hole type with a cutaway. (just my opinion)
The elite is easier to play, but that's because I'm a tight-arse and too slack to pay someone to set the 05 up properly. |

Probably has more to with strings than anything. The Elite has some kind of coated strings that came with it (more than a year ago). These strings sound better to me than brand new strings on the 2005-ES. And I've had at least 4 or 5 string changes on the 2005 to compare over the course of the past year. |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | My 1867 Legend SSB can hold it's own sound wise...but I have to admit that I love the inlaid epu's on my 1778 LX....BUT the round hole CL 1158 12'er looks sooo good and sounds incredible....yet, the add on epu's of my U681T are very appealing, and the sound...no description for that!
Try em all...and fall in love, uh...lust...uh...love..well, hope you get the picture! ;) |

Do you guys prefer Elite or Legend soundholes?
