I purchased one of the small Olympic models. While it has s not the same charcteristic archtop tone of the originals, it has a likeable and useable tonality. I have lately been thinking about replacing the bridge with a more traditional rosewood bridge/saddle and replacing the under saddle piezo with a dual transducer type, mounted underside of the soundboard in hopes of taming some of the piezo harshness. I had been resigned to trade this guitar for something else. But it is fun to play, unusually comfortable despite the big neck, and the tone is very even across the strings and up the neck. I agree, the cases for these are very, very nice.
