Just finishing moving so I figured it’s a good time to take a couple pictures of my guitars.

Yamaha fg800 and Ibanez s521:

Yamaha acoustic dreadnought in black & Ibanez s521 with a blueish color fade and some stickers

The Yamaha helped me get back into it after years of not playing. After that I picked up the Ibanez I played for about a year mostly exercises and learning songs. The Yamaha is a lot of fun especially to belt out some chords and the Ibanez feels extraordinarily light and fast.

Ibanez tod10n and Solar AC1.7VC+:

two guitars, one is a classical nylon string/electric hybrid and the other is a 7 string electric with an evertune bridge

a little closer shot of the Ibanez and Solar

I love the wider width on the neck on both of these 1.8" (46 and 48mm) at the nut, my left hand gets a little stiff after awhile and the little wider neck for the classical hybrid Ibanez or the 7 string Solar makes a pretty big difference. I like to keep the 7 in standard A tuning and the classical is a lot of fun for finger picking on the nylons. If I were to add another I’d like to try one of the carbon fiber ones or maybe a non hybrid classical 7 string.

    How do you like the nylon? Personally I hate the electric nylon sound but I’ve heard that they’re more playable than a standard classical. Killer 7 string!

      It doesn’t really sound like a classical unplugged or an electric plugged in which I get will turn a lot away especially if you want to play classical pieces only they will sound a bit thinner & a bigger space needs an amp. But I only know a couple classical songs and I love how light it is, and with the smaller sound hole it was good for not bothering the neighbors in an apartment. Lately I’ve been playing some classical, bluegrass, and lullabies on it and it feels kinda like a generalist it doesn’t really hit any one thing 100% but can be used to move between stuff especially finger style is really comfortable to play on it

    Love the inlay on that hybrid, looks like something Tim Henson would play. Nice guitars btw, thanks for sharing.

        Yep, there was another version in green with bar inlays I think looks really good too but the black with rose inlays is his & I think he’s got a signature electric in white with the same fretboard inlay pattern. I don’t know any polyphia songs I just really liked the combination of features and design and how it feels to play.

          Yeah, I was double checking on Ibanez’s site and it looks like this summer a pink one with rose inlays is coming out: I’m not much of a pink guy but this thing makes my wallet tickle.
