I had a DSR for a while - very similar spec to the MMV in terms of bracing / woods etc. I did like the guitar and at first I was amazed at the sound for the price. As the months went by and despite tinkerings, I have to say I grew rather bored of the instrument. Now I am inlcined to do that a bit anyway - it is a weakness in me frankly. But in this case I found that the tone was a bit one-dimensional for me. Very approachable and instantly gratifying but not something that held my interest for the long term. This is just a personal reaction. Not really a slight on the guitar - it was just part of my journey in finding ourt my own personal taste. It was for me a bit like eating a nice sweety treat - immediately pleasurable but I couldn't live off it. Needed something with a bit more nutrition in it!
