I've had two Blues Masters and they've both been brilliant guitars. The first one got pinched at a gig that had a spruce top. The second was a sunbursty finish and was mega. I fitted it with brass pegs and used Elixer strings and a Fishman pick up. It rang like a bell and was a loud little fecker. Unfortunately just over a year ago I fell on really hard times and had to sell it and I miss it like mad. I've tried to see if they still sell them but they don't (at least in the UK)if anyone knows how to get a hold of one I'd be very interested. A very sad MC Fat
