First, a shout out to duhvoodooman for pointing me in this direction. Turns out I landed in that direction.

I love her. I've had a couple hours with her. We are in love :mrgreen: I have not plugged it in yet. I'm working on an acoustic amp as we speak, buying one that is. I'd love to build one really.

Congrats, John!

We're gonna need more details though! How's it sound? :)

Acoustically, great to my ears. I would love to plug it into something but that will wait.

Lot more "depth" and bass to the chords I guess I would say than my Taylor. Not as "chimey" as the Taylor. I keep comparing it to that as that is all I have except for some crappy Washburn. Body is just the right size for me. I know the mahogany has to age and the sound will only get better. Love the smell too. I would like to change strings to what I'm used to though. They seem a tad thicker than I like and I'll have a better feel. I'm just getting started with it though.

I have this nutty thing where any guitar I LOVE the sound of I find out what strings are on it and buy a few sets. Then I can experiment, but I almost always come back to the strings/sound I loved.

Try Phosphor-Bronze light gauge strings. I love Hog tops! Particularly Martins...

nice score, john!

i'm a big fan of Elixir's coated bronze in 12ga. I hate their electric strings, but the acoustic ones are great.
