What does "countertop" mean in this context?
Who Here Plays Acoustic and Who Doesn't Even Own One?

I have 2 that I very rarely play. A really nice Takamine thin body made in Japan from like 35 years ago and a Goya 12 string I got in maybe 1980. I used to let the singer in Whiplash play it onstage a little till I realized it is very expensive to replace and is relatively fragile for stage use so that stopped.
I did use the 12string for the first Afterglow song in studio.
Acoustic just isn't my thing. If I want acoustic sounds now, the Godins do a super job with the piezo in bridge and play like an electric cause they are.
Pics coming.
Oh and I guess the resonator too. That's 3. I do like to noodle on slide blues now n then.

I own two. A Yamaha 12 string I bought in 1973. It has some issues that has it difficult to play these days. I also have an Ovation bought in 1974. I don’t play it as much as I should. But from 74-2009 it’s all I had. 09 I bought my first electric, a G400. 
Well…Richlite is a countertop material.(fretboard and bridge)
The back and sides are another, essentially, compressed paper product…like a countertop laminate. Check the seams on the side to back transition…
Kind of reminiscent of a Formica countertop seam…
Overall the guitar has a pleasant resonance, sounds great, and is super stable. It rarely requires tuning…well…it’s most always in tune with itself when I pick it up.
It is the acoustic used in the following…

Got it. Thanks.
I am a big fan of richlite. I will take that over cheap rosewood, "exotic" woods like bubinga, or heavily sealed maple for a FB any day

I’m playing in a band with two acoustic guitars and myself on bass. This is a rough recording from our first practice after a month and a half off. The mix is way off because it was our first practice in that room. The room was exceedingly bright tone wise. We had the vocals turned way down to avoid feedback.

I have 5, but mainly these three Martins I got a few months ago. Now I'm not really playing them but they are fine art to me and 2 are LTD. I don't plan to sell them though. I remember a thread here recently where you mentioned your guitars are art. For that, urge you to do the same.
Lol. I say get one ...even if you play it once in a while you can always stare at it.
