Easiest-playing guitar - Page 3

Hm, acoustic, the one most recently set up. Right now, a tossup between my F50 (recent neck reset and setup) and my OOO Orpheum, setup a little before the f50. Overall, my Godin ACS, combination of low action and nylon strings make it the easiest on the LH.

How do you like the tone on yours? I was thinking of looking into the higher end models for a bit of improved tone.

Tone is nice and deep, very smooth and dark sounding as you’d expect from all hog. It’s one of my favorites.

Currently my 000-28. I had a SC13E that was even more so though.

The D18 is lovely to play too but a very different proposition, long scale, .13s, large body.

I gotta honestly say -- it's a first place tie between the last several instruments I've owned.

Why? Barron Martin/Frets & Necks Guitar Repair set-ups! Best shop in the Southwest.

All my guitars are set up nicely and play great. But this 1-3/4” x 2-1/4” H13 just nails it. I’ve had this one for a couple of months and it’s as good as it get for me. It always helps when you totally bond with an instrument.

Probably the Gibson Rosewood Parlor AG. Best mix of perfect neck, nut width, shallow body and cutaway. I really should have kept it!

easy answer....

My Martin SC13e with 11s is the easiest guitar I've ever played BY FAR. 3-4 hour gigs are effortless with this thing and songs I struggle with are doable on this guitar. Anyone who answers something else simply hasn't tried this one.

All my guitars are easy to play, or else I simply wouldn't have them. Having said that, the one guitar that absolutely sings/resonates with the least amount of effort is my '89 D-35P....even with medium gauge strings.

I had a Kalamazoo Tenor guitar, 4 strings and 23" scale. It was so easy to play that I actually learned to play guitar with it. Tuned DGBD like my banjo made it even simpler.
Wish I still had it.

Wow. So you've tried every single guitar out there and can definitively say that your SC13e is easier than all of them. Impressive.

I'm hoping you accidentally left a smiley off the end of your post.

Gibsons. Especially the short scale ones.

I’d imagine anything with a good setup and 11 gauge strings would play pretty easy.
