Wow, Eddie! Based upon your review you might just very well sell another. I love the looks of this guitar man.
Keep us posted, please.

It will arrive Monday!! Depending on how my 1st Covid shot affects my arm, I should be strumming it tomorrow evening! I will do a little rendition of something I like to call "64 Bars Of Stumbling Around In C", enough for you to get a feel for the sound possibilities.
I went back to their web page to order a t-shirt, but the shirt is 7 bucks and the shipping is 28!
Um....no.
Maybe next month. I wanted to buy 3 of them, 1 for me and 2 to give away to people I know would appreciate them.

Well, according to Google maps, "Woody" is 1600 ft from my house. However, that is as the crow flies. My driver has 3 more streets between me and her. And with my Covid shot at 3, there isn't going to be time for the "warming up from the cold truck before opening" phase before I go. Then I have to remember how to play the guitar, and I'll do a short 2 minute or so demo of the sound. Probably see it tomorrow.

Okay so when I got home from my first Covid shot the box was on the back porch. I let it sit for about 2 hours to get to room temperature gradually.
Aesthetically this thing is beautiful. What looks like inlays top and bottom are actually recesses with textured plastic in the recesses. I haven't plugged it up yet but at first blush this guitar will be a bit of a challenge for me. I have very strong, thick hands but relatively short fingers, and the neck on this thing is a bit thick for my hands. I will adapt as I get used to it, and there isn't even a strap on it yet so I was also supporting it with my fretting hand as I strummed chords for 5 minutes. The body is thin enough that I will be able to reach it, and it really is gorgeous to look at. The analogy here is that 3.0 was also really good looking, and we know how THAT worked out... More tomorrow.

Think you will get used to the thicker neck since it really is a classical neck after all.
I have an old Yamaha classical guitar with that kind of neck, lay for years with strings missing, adjusted the action and re-strung last year, I still only noodle around on it, but the thicker neck grows on you and you actually begin to like it after a while, as it provides a nice balance with the wider fingerboard which you will begin to like too.
Mind you the first few times you try it, it will seem so strange but a little practice often works wonders.

I played it a little bit this morning. The first takeaway is that this thing is so solid and heavy it feels like a cinder block with a neck on it. Step 1 is going to be changing the strings. These are so thick they feel like baling wire! They feel like they must be 11s. I like the tone unamplified. I am going to try and get it upstairs and play it amplified today.

FYI - I put these fold nylon strings on my nylon string guitar: https://www.amazon.com/DAddario-BEB031W-Guitar-Single-String/dp/B000OR4SM0/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&keywords=nylon+folk+guitar+strings&qid=1613491831&s=musical-instruments&sr=1-18Ball ended nylon strings come in a variety of gauges. These are much easier to string! I know the purist say this is cheating but I'm not a purist.

I just tried to print what my ex Marine Drill Sgt future father in law said and the automated censor turned it the whole post into asterisks... I remember it being liberally seasoned with "no way in H-E-double hockey sticks", but that was over 40 years ago too, so...
