Another interesting note about this guitar is that it's my first to feature a surface transducer style pickup. Specifically two Dazzo pickups. Teddy (the designer of the pickup) spent some time with me yesterday testing many different versions in different configurations.
I was very pleased with the results. I do think of my guitars as sort of "purist" acoustics and was somewhat hesitant at first but this was a pleasant surprise. The pickup is very light weight and I couldn't discern a big difference in un-amplified sound. Plugged in the nuances of the acoustic sound were surprising well captured by the surface transducer, without the overly harsh and digital sound of an under saddle piezo.
All that's to say ...I don't want to part with this one Brian!
