You know, there is quite a bit of a learning curve. I've been playing with it, and I'm having to play very slowly for the string changes and closeness. The 'f' string is also a trip - very touchy, and will bend out of tune if I press too hard, yet needs a solid touch for good tone. It'll be a while before I perform on it, I think! But, with all that, well worth the $75 I spent on it. I will give the strings a chance to break in before the final verdict, but I'm thinking different ones will have better tone. I'm also still thinking of having the bridge redesigned at some point. Electric, I don't have a problem with, as long as the electronics and sound person are good.
