Been neglecting my babies for some time now...
From top down, left to right...
(i) Taylor 714 - sleek and smooth playability... beautiful sweet and mellow ringing tone... lovely, but haven't been playing it since Cantabile in early June... strings are old and rusty... still lying under an invaded and acquired territory in my office... gotta bring it home soon... This baby sorely lacks playing...
(ii) Epiphone Sheraton II - double humbucker electric... I find this a la Gibson factory made guitar's tone too warm and muffled. Same Gibson factory, supposedly same specs... but what u pay is what u get... Hmmm... If I can find the time to playing guitar regualarly again, I might consider brining this baby down to Davis Guitars to change the humbuckers to Gibson's...
(iii) Simon & Patrick Mahagony - My rough and tough dreadnaught... Didn't like it initially when I bought it because the action was too high... But since I sent it for action adjustment by Steven of the Guitar Hospital at Sinamex, the tone and playability is nice... But the strings are darn rusty... About time to change...
(iv) Yamaha CG151C - Cedar solid top classical... My skills improved after I bought this guitar because it was more responsive and allowed me to improve my technique... Haven't been playing classical seriously for almost 7 years... the tone of this petite guitar is a little lost. Can't hear the vibrance anymore... but still a keeper...

Too fast; 'slip hand' (to read in hokkien)
For the world-wide readers (if there's any)... 'Skip-hand' is pronounced as "piew chiew" in hokkien... Felt an obligation to make this point cos' I feel the essence of the hokkien version would be lost otherwise...
