Just played one of these in my local Guitar shop,in all, a very pleasing experiance. I play in DADGAD and Open G quite a lot and tend to go through a fare few Strings along the way, This guitar solves that problem and should save me a few strings going 'Ping'.Great for playing Gordon Giltrap stuff! Sound wise it's actually very good, but the bit I like most is, you can plug in a pair of Headphones while the wife is watching Coronation Street and practice away without getting yelled at! I may have to get one of these!
