Hello I enjoy reading your comments and thoughts. I've just purchased a NEW 2010 12 fret (rosewood & Sitka) I am totally enthralled with it. Somehow over the past few years I've been drawn to smaller guitars, 0's,00's, OM's and GC's. I seem to enjoy them more that the dreads and even though I am no player of any merit I just enjoy playing and the smaller guitars. They are simply more fun and more comfortable. Anyway, good to be a part of your group and look forward to reading and enjoying the forum. Blessings, arktrav
