I used to play a solid-top pleasant sounding acoustic guitar (Guild OM-240E). I am mainly into fingerstyle / flamenco / semi-classical type guitarplay. Sometimes, I spend my time learning music theory. I wish to compose songs some day. 

Past guitars: The Guild one is my 4-th guitar. Guitars I owned in the past are Custom (acous), Ibanez (elec), and Givson (acous). I love Taylor and Martin guitars the most.

Preferred strings: D'Addario silk & steel: 11-47 (EJ40), D'Addario phosphor bronze: 12-53 (EJ16), Elixir 010, Nylon strings. Prefer warm, mellow, deep tones.
