I received it today and I may still be extra exhilarated about this new baby. It exceeded my expectations in every way. I have dreamed about a guitar like this. The mics are real growling with good sustain. Piezo sound is sweet too. Did not have to use nut files for this one. Almost too beatiful. Am I overcooking my grits? Maybe I should have slept one night and then write this review. I thought my Jorma Kaukonen Special was the best, this may even better. Good job Gibson&Musicians Friend. Took a risk with buying without seeing the specs, but it was worth it. I've got mine.
