Looking for new electro acoustic

voxmanjohn

Okay so my days of playing in bands are gone in favour of acoustic gigs. I currently am playing a Taylor 210 with a fishman rare earth pickup in but wouldnt mind something different and Martin come to mind in particilar the DRS2 for its price £929 with a hardcase its supplied with.

Anyone had any experience with these? I read the early ones had the stratabond necks but later changed to solid woods.

A fan of dreadnought shape acoustics. Want something different sounding from my Taylor which they are very bright guitars.

Any help or point in the right direction would be great.

Not played that.  I've got one of the entry level Martins with a Stratobond neck and it's really good.  It probably sees more use live than my expensive Martin.

I do use a TC Bodyrez with it which does help the plugged in sound.

Thanks @crunchman will have to check out those bodyrez pedals. Nice one.

Martin M 36 is a great all rounder.(mine could be up for sale soon)

If I was buying now, I'd look at the Boss version.  That came out about a month after I bought my Bodyrez.

I think a little out of my price range...
