I started out with a cheap acoustic guitar, and later my Dad bought me an f-hole cello guitar. A friend of ours put a pickup on it for me.

'''ACOUSTICS'''
I've never really owned a good acoustic guitar. I've got this Macaferri acoustic that's made by Ibanez. It's a lovely guitar. I'd really like an f-hole cello guitar. I don't like the sound of flat tops. The Macaferri is a half-breed. It's like a cross between a classical guitar and a flat top. It's got a bridge like that of a cello guitar, where the strings are lying on the bridge. I like the sound of it for solo work because it's really full in the mid-range, unlike flat tops which are very nasal. I'd like to play a Gibson L-7 – once in a store I played one that somebody else bought. I was completely blown away with that instrument.
