I just picked up one of these yesterday. It sounds and plays great IMO. Put on some Earthwound 12's FB, a slight neck adjustment and bingo. And the tuner is just a plus.

This should be the answer we all need to hear on this.

My advice would be to quit listening to people on the internet and play the thing and see if you like the sound of them first before wondering what else is out there.
