The Sable is outstanding. Every bit as powerful as the D-28 Marquis. On par with the D-28 Authentic 1937. Perhaps other carbon guitars are louder, but I would not know. However, you could close your eyes and think you were listening to a wood guitar.
I set the action up the same as the D-28s and used the same Martin 13s.
They are the real deal. I may never do a bar gig with a wood guitar again. But, I won’t be selling my Martins either.
Not sure I like the pickup. I might do something different, eventually.
Unless something unforeseen happens, this guitar might be my favorite day to day (leave out on the stand) instrument in a long time.

Yeah, that's how it starts.
For the record (and I don't know who's keeping track), I have some nice wood guitars and some nice carbon fiber guitars (all Emeralds)... the CF guitars get almost all the play time.
Your Sable is a fine example of what carbon fiber can be - congrats!
