Hmmm...thought I'd sent this...guess not.

I took a V-A with me on two different tours. On one tour I had the "B" model and wanted to see what happened if I folded the thing up after evry gig. Not a good idea. After a couple of weeks of this, that seemed to put stress on the hinges.

On the second tour, I took a "D" model and only folded it to get on a plane and to demo it for interested parties. That was a much better situation. That is really what the V-A is made for; to take on the plane. I really wouldn't fold it and unfold it all the time.

As far as playability and tone, well, both are excellent. Both Jed and I road tested prototypes and even these sound beautiful.

Harvey makes beautiful guitars and is a master with inlay.

Oh yeah, and he's a really nice guy :-).
