The DragonFLy from Funky Munky arrived yesterday, about 2 hours before we left for our gig. So I didn't have much time to play it before going on stage. First impressions: - It's beautiful (pictures will come as soon as I have time)
- It's as light as a feather. A few ounces more than my full hollow-body Epiphone Casino and Gibson ES-330
- It's well balanced - stays put when both hands are off the guitar
- It's very comfortable to hold against my body
- Positions 1 & 3 (neck and middle only) sound very strat-ish and 5 (humbucker only) sounds very Gibson-ish
- The fishman pickup gives it a very realistic acoustic sound by itself -- plus blending the acoustic with the magnetic pickups makes it sound like a flat top with a pickup in the round hole
- Positions 2 and 4 (and 4 with the humbucker in both hb and coil tapped) positions sound great too, but I don't know how to describe them (although position 4 with the humbucker in sc mode sounds a little like a tele only fatter). I'll get into this more after gigging, when I can play with it more off the gig without the rest of the band
The fit and finish of the guitar are excellent and the frets are dressed well. It came in a decent hard case (not a flight case though) and was set up well - intonation is great, although the action was a little higher than I prefer. I haven't played with the whammy much yet, and didn't on the gig. I've never had one, and it's a skill that definitely needs a little off stage work. I put the handle on before the gig (it came in the floating mode), and as per the instructions tuned the guitar, wiggled the stick, retuned, wiggled the stick and then checked intonation. It didn't go out of tune after the second tuning. (it has Sprezel locking tuners and a graph-tech nut). This will be my gigging guitar for a long time to come. I eventually want to replace the humbucker with a P-Rail so I can also have P90 tones too. Then it will be an "everything" guitar. I still haven't heard anything on the Mojo, but it's too early to sell it. Insights and incites by Notes ♫

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
