If it's anything like my Tacoma Chief, you'll be happy. That ancestor has is a very efficient producer of tone and sound. Only 3 1/2 inches deep, but it thumps out bass like a dred. Less than four pounds, too. It reminds me of an archtop for its power, but with much more sustain. My Chief doesn't have the refined, smooth tone on my Tacoma roundholers, though. It's a bit brash and unrefined, and perfect for Blues. Cedar and mahogany was the original Chief formula, so that's a good choice.

The Gruhn guitar project is about two months behind his originally stated schedule. This week, GG said there should be "some more details" in next Friday's zoom call.
