gijs Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Killer looks! How 'bout the sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Guy Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Killer looks! How 'bout the sound? Initial tests are clearly positive. I was hoping for a similar sound to my lovely J-45 & am not disappointed so far. Just as loud & well balanced with that unique Gibson slope tone. Not sure about the Gibson strings though, they feel a little "sticky" to me - is that because I'm used to Elixirs? Probably change them this weekend. I'm finding the scale (short vs long on my HD-28) & nut (1.725 vs 1.6875 on my J-45) combination to be a winner & just what I was after for my flatpicking. So, with all this plus killer looks, she's a keeper for sure..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
