Lets just say out of all the guitars I have EVER bought, and I have bought my share of high quality guitars, I could't put it down. Played from 3:30-9:00pm yesterday, then again from 11-midnight. It looks great, sounds even better and I am completely stoked! And that was unplugged, still haven't tried out the new ES 2 system. Need an acoustic amp...gonna pick up a fishman sound box mini next.
