Equipment File #4: Cimar acoustic

Cimar acoustic guitar

Equipment File 03

This guitar was a Christmas present in 2003 from Jason's wife. Jason had mentioned that he did not like the sound of his Hohner acoustic guitar, so she bought him this one. It is made by Ibanez, the same brand as his bass guitar.

Like the Hohner, this guitar had no pickups either. But Jason was able to mic the guitar and get a good sound on tape. It was most often used playing live to their new daughter at the time. But it was used in several recordings also.

He received the guitar while recording the Mune Mud album Hobson's Choice. So this guitar was used on several of those tracks, including "She Walked to the Fair", "In Search of...", "Puffing Billy", and "Mr. Carpenter".

The guitar is still played on occasion today, mainly to entertain the two kids that now share the house with Jason and his wife. And there are plans to record new music with it some day.
