The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I've always heard that Thunderbirds suffer from neck dive. Warwicks are said to be the same, but I haven't noticed it too much with my Corvette. Thoughts on that?
Love the SVT! Hopefully one day I can justify getting one myself.

Thanks for the storage advice, guys.
Here is the guitar. BB King Lucille model Epiphone with a signed scratch plate. Played for less than 1 minute, won in a competition for the Deuces Wild album (1997).

Well guys, I think it’s time I picked up a guitar again. I find myself needing an outlet and I’ve always missed the multiple guitars I carelessly pawned in my 20s.
I don’t play that well, but I can strum a bit, so I think a modest acoustic with a little personality is what I need. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I don’t plan on doing anything but strumming on the porch, but I would like something with staying power that produces quality sound for the price. I’m thinking anything in the sub $400 range.
Thoughts?

I like Yamaha because they seem to focus on build quality without any of the flashyness. Takamine was also a good call because they have some quality smaller-bodied acoustics like the one you linked.

My first guitar was a Yamaha laminate. So many beach tunes played on that thing, and all sorts of stickers. It had a lot of sentimental value but I think it was probably pretty cheaply made now that I'm researching wood versus laminate and all that.
Per y'all's recommendations, I'm strongly looking into that Epiphone Hummingbird and Takamines. I think wood tops are what I'm looking for, for sure.

for 20 years of my guitar playing life I would use the classic yellow tortex guitar picks. You know the ones.
One day 3 years ago i accidentally ordered the "sharp version" of this pick and when it arrived I couldnt believe what was going on. It felt like I had to learn guitar all over again.
Muscle memory is a bitch.
Fast forward to a month ago when all of those became worn down/lost and i had to play some older "regular" ones...I could barely hit the fucking strings.

I've used Fender mediums since I can remember. I'll wear them out to the point you can't tell which end is which. I drop them a bit, so I tried some of those Dunlop grip picks. They work as intended, but the edges seem sharp, and that's what I use because I was never taught how to hold one. I kinda use the pick like a machete for single note stuff. Had a lot of trouble with string breaks, in the early days. D'Addario 10s can take a beating. Highly recommend.
