Hey Planobilly, that looks a really nice instrument. If you are anything like me you'll be spend hours playing it look at ways to set it for yourself. I bought a couple of new guitars but yours looks classier.

I recently bought a couple of guitars but being the age I am did not want to spend too much after all I still use my old Tele. The old tele and a Maton CW80 (an acoustic) I bought over 50 years ago. The Maton is getting a bit past it but the Tele is simply brilliant.

To substitute for the Maton I purchased an Ovation 1778TX-5 which has a neck that plays more like an electric guitar. It plays really easy and sounds ok as an acoustic but is brilliant plugged in or to record with.

I wanted a tremolo to play around with I did not want to spend too much but I wanted something usable. After some looking on YouTube I came across the Yamaha Pacifica 612. This guitar has fairly high end hardware. SeymourDuncan Pickups, GraphTec Nut, Grover Locking Tuners and Wilkinson Trem. With those features it seems a good buy. Spent a week or so getting it together. Last Tuesday had it how I wanted it sounds really good and was going to actually use it in a gig next week.

Then last Wednesday night came the stopper I had a heart attack so no gig this month. Just as the restrictions eased again I'm out of commission.
