Congrats on the new purchase glad it is all you wished for, I have had my APLE now for about 4/5 months and I gotta tell you it is my go to guitar. I use it in a trio and for Fiddle tunes , vocals , and some jazz tunes this thing just sings. I have found on mine at least the Martin Retro Models in 12/54 make this a mellow all around performer,,,couldn't be happier with Rainsongs.
