Its so different from my D50, I think I'm going to have to keep it. 8) Interesting, brightness, with a bit of a resonator vibe to it....it does sound vintage bluesey....goint to try a set of Dean Markley vintage strings on it, to me they are similar to the Guild strings of old....as in the early 70s....neat comfortable to play, I'm going to drop the nut a wee bit, and it should suit me just fine....I think it has a bit of opening up to do.....there is virtually no sign of wear on the frets, or the guitar for that matter....thanks.....Steffan
