First of all, like many, I am far kicking outside my coverage when it comes to comparing my playing ability with my guitars. But I feel like I did good every time I pick up my Nick Lucas Maple. I got it used on the acoustic guitar forum that was discounted by 2/3 off the original price because someone left a humidipack against the body where you can't see and the finish was messed up. No one would buy it due to the description, so kudos to me not caring about this stuff. Great guitar with sunbeams light on them.
