Finally made the big purchase

[Kazz]

I have been gassing for a new acoustic for some time....don't get me wrong..I love my Parkwood....but remember I came here from the Washburn forum. I have had many lust affairs with different models of Washburn acoustics. First it was the J28SDL Jumbo, I played a couple and they sounded awesome...but in the end it not being solid wood turned me off....I still love the look tho....and this merry go round never stops spinning :-)


I then moved on to the WD18 which was promptly discontinued and I could not get one.

Up next was the WD32SCE....had it in my hands a few times....but I did not want to dip into real money to get it and when I finally had some funny money to spend I went back and it was gone.


During this time I had been emailing back and forth with a very popular online retailer and he let me know he had an old stock D46S still on hand and might be able to make me a deal on it....I hemmed and hawed as I usually do....then after the WD32SCE episode...I went out and I played a D46S in our local Washburn Dealers store....and I was hooked....I came back that night emailed Dave and said I really want this guitar, but I have to wait a few weeks until I rebuild my guitar fund. Take a look at this video it is a demo of the D46S

I mailed the check off yesterday....so somewhere in the next 2 weeks this beauty should arrive....and I am at least somewhat excited.

Looks great Kazz!

But I can't seem to view the video you've posted.

[luvmyshiner]

Sweet choice Kazz. My daughter has a D46S and I have the twelve string version. They're visually stunning guitars and they sound as good as they look. You'll love it.:beer:

[just strum]

Alright KAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

I'm surprised you didn't explode, I know that was a seriious amount of time that GAS was building up. The guitar looks real nice, looking forward the review when it arrives.

Dave told me to box it up because it had to go to Indiana. He did mention the "Dylan Rules" sticker I put on the top near the sound hole, didn't he?

[sunvalleylaw]

Looks pretty. Congrats! Has a nice sound in the vid too!

[warren0728]

wow....that headstock and back are wild....what type of wood is that?

[tot_Ou_tard]

Very beautiful Kazz!

[Kazz]

Quilted Ash Warren.....it is pretty stunning visually...makes a statement.

[ted s]

Sure is purty Kazz, "somewhat excited" ?! I'll bet !

[just strum]

Quilted Ash Warren.....it is pretty stunning visually...makes a statement.

Warren, I'm not sure, but I think he just called you an ash. Maybe he was referring to pancakes and he saw your ash while cooking.:D

[Kazz]

I think I am going to name this guitar Joe Dirt.....after the Mullet.....all business up front (Solid Spruce Top) and Rock N Roll in the back (Quilted Ash Back and Sides)

I also am expecting a smaller package sometime this week that is a Vox Wah that I just cannot wait to play around with on the Dark Side.....and even more so excited for when my boys come back to visit to see what Jordan can do with the wah....

[PAPPY]

Kass, that's a beauty for sure, much to pretty to have a male name. Congratulations on the buy.

[Kazz]

Pappy....that was a bit of a joke.....

[Algonquin]

Uhhh... it's pronounced Dirte` :D

[street music]

Kazz that's a beauty, hope you enjoy.

[stingx]

I really like the look of that guitar. Video sounded good so I hope you play the hell out of it for a long time!

Cheers,
Pete

[pes_laul]

the back of that thing is gnarly (in a good way)

[Kazz]

She is shipping out today.....would think if the postal service actually does any work this weekend....I will definitely have my new baby in time for next weekends looong weekend.....will have to get my D'addarrio strings and attempt a setup on her.....

Got to have that action like buttah.......My new Wah pedal is sitting on a Fed Ex truck waiting to be delivered this weekend too.....look out neighbors...Kazz will be shaking windows tomorrow afternoon.

[luvmyshiner]

Here's a few shots of my twelve string to hold you over for a few days Kazz. To be honest I've had to do very little set up work on her. Change the strings and adjust the truss rod and you should be in good shape.

Excellent Kazz man -after seeing the video now have GAS too and really miss my acoustic even more now:poke:

[Kazz]

Thanks for making the wait even more agonizing Shiner....knew I could count on you for that LOL.


Tell me this....just how much of a pain is tuning and restringing a 12er? I have looked at a couple....but with as badly as I play....just could not justify all the extra tuning and string changing time.....maybe one day after I get past 3 chord songs LOL.

[Kazz]

Pictures are forth coming.....all I can say....and this is so typical of Dave at RGG Music.....the guitar is 100X better than I imagined.....

Thank you Dave.....

[Childbride]

Dave just shipped me the D10s i'm going to annually [second year now] auction for my pet charity; got it yesterday. Dave's the bomb.. and a bday boy next thursday on the 29th.

Kazz, can't wait to see your pics! :D

[Kazz]

I have got to get my butt motivated to take them.....and get all 4 kids cleared out so I can have the comfy couch to lay her on LMAO.

I can tell I had not been interested in playing in some time while waiting for all of this to go down.....my fingers are sore :-)
