Iota is expected to make landfall late Monday in parts of Central America including Nicaragua and Honduras. The National Hurricane Center said it "could reach Category 5 status." The same area was hit by Hurricane Eta just over a week ago.

Should i get the Ephiphone J160E approximation to the Lennon acoustic, or the Sigma JM-SG160E approximation to the Ephiphone? they're both about the same price
not as much in the age of covid…i've bought 2 guitars mail order since pandemic, a shechter TSH-12 and an Ibanez artist 12. If i had played them first, i likely wouldn't have got the Shechter. it's super cool and it sounds great but the neck width/scale length combo make my hand tired.
This guy says there's almost no downside to the Epi
Absent hands on, I'd go with the Epi. Are you gonna put electric strings on it?
my thoughts too. there's no urgency, it's more of a pandemic whim, like what else am i gonna do?
hadn't thought about electric strings. i like the earthworks or d'addario phosphor bronze acoustic strings in general. those have enough ferrous content to excite the fields, cause a B-dot?
Maxwell's silver hammer. Well played. Lennon put electrics on his, but I would guess that was for bending. d'Addarios should be fine, and you can play with pup distance if needed.
That'd be ,for me, casting pearls before………uh……..a sewer rat.
I owned a first generation Sigma DM 12-5 12 string, and played a couple of other 6-string dreads from the 70s and 80s. They were the equals of the Martins they copied, but the new AMI Sigmas don't share anything but the name. No relation to Nazareth at all. Sure, Epiphones don't really have any Gibson DNA in them anymore, but they're a damned good quality instrument. I'd go with an Epi.
Epis like this one are reliable, so hard to go wrong. I wanted to consider that the AMI was some kind of unicorn guitar, but it sounds more like a long-shot risk given the history, esp since i can't test it first
Carl Sagan called their fallacy the Argument from Personal Incredulity — "i don't believe it, therefore it's not true".

Raff, Georgia Secretary of State
"I'm an engineer. We look at numbers. We look at hard data," he said. "I can't help it that a failed candidate like Doug Collins is running around lying to everyone. He's a liar."
And Miss Lindsey is calling Raff & trying to get him to toss legal ballots.
