Cute as a button, difficult to like. sounded junky acoustically even when in tune, which wasn't often. It did sound great through an amp. Actually it's the best sounding guitar I have. Strung it with 11's, still the strings feel slack. Finally I Loctited the saddles, that kept it from slipping out of tune so bad, and just now did a fret level and loosened the truss rod for some relief. Plays way better now .
I'm not keeping it, I tend to hoard and unlike West Texas I tend to bond with my things (where's Emoticon?)
So I'm giving it to an unseen high functioning autistic kid. the only caveat is that if he doesn't take to it it would be nice to get it back. It will look great under a tree, I used a white guitar strap as the ribbon. And I figure maybe music would be a great discipline for an autistic kid.
I'm finally pried free of my covetousness of the thing and don't begrudge the gift, it took a while. After all I have 8 guitars and only know the intros to about 5 songs.
If I kept it or get it back I'd do a 3 barrel conversion, the 6 saddles now intonate just like 3 barrels. and get some fancy tuners, the vintage Mustang or Cali tuners, the white button kind
