Ok, that was interesting.

I've been wondering if there was anything that could be done to improve the rhythm guitar which I recorded on my last album, Seven Miles a Second, when I go to record the next album, Falling Toward Orion. I recorded it using my Taylor 710, which is a cedar-topped guitar and which normally sounds pretty good, but the mics didn't like it as much as I'd hoped. So I borrowed some guitars from Terry at The Guitar Works in Evanston and [livejournal.com profile] daisy_knotwise and I headed off to the basement to do some recording.

Over lunch today, I ducked over to the Guitar Works and looked at several expensive guitars, trying to decide if they're good enough -- or I'm good enough -- to notice the difference between them and my Taylor 710 cedar top.

I don't know. But they sure do sound pretty. And Terry's offered to let me take them home and try recording with them to see if they sound better on tape than my current selection of instruments.

There are advantages to having been a customer for 20 years. :)
