Thanks 2shelbys, I'm really happy with it. I have been playing the same old acoustic I have had for the past 25 years. An old Hohner given to me as payment for a $35.00 phone bill. I figured it was time to buy just the guitar I would keep for the rest of my life, and pass down to my son. He's only 4 but he's already pickin like a pro. Heck, he made $8.00 playing at the Wheatland music festival this past september. Thats huge money for a kid of 4 and has convinced him that a guitar player is what he wants to be. Maybe someday he'll invite me onstage to pick a song with him, if he doesn't forget dear old dad, LOL!!! Gotta go, Marty's callin!!! Geof
