Stevie;

Congratulations! I think the Ox is a remarkable guitar. I sold mine to pursue nylon strung instruments. The friend I sold it to played it for a number of years and then passed it on to his son, a musical prodigy, who has played the guitar through Africa and much of America. Have you tried slide? you might be surprised. The Ox can just about do everything--now it's up to you. Enjoy.
