I'm in a hotel bed after a show in Switzerland, and I have this guitar with me, a hotrodded 1960 X150 :
and everything's working and sounding good and staying in tune. Somewhere after half the set I put the big guitar aside to do two tunes on a baritone guitar.
When I grab it again after that and want to plug it back in, I notice to my frustration that Somehow the nut on the output jack has worked itself loose, and the jack socket has fallen.. into the guitar.
BUT...I'd taken the black M75 as a backup, and I'm glad to report it performed like a champ! It hits the amp about as hard as the big guitar, doesn't sound all that much smaller, and stays in tune great! It's definitely staying, and because of its handy size and surpringly big sound, it'll probably be my backup from now on! This kind felt like the final confirmation I needed - it' a keeper!
