It is amazing!!! It sounds so good and the coolestpart is that it has a pickup and a mic in the sound hole so I can get a very warm sound that makes you want to melt.

I am very happy, but then I remember that I can't keep it, so I am starting the "Jon L needs cash to buy sweet action guitar" fund.

Peace out
