Mot; Yes, these darned guitars have become my one endulgence, other than drinking and smoking.

Kramster; Once again, you have moved to the front of the line. I think you have a real goody in your hands. Some sound, please.

Captain; you are going to be so happy.

CQ; And well you might be jealous. The most astounding thing about the 7 thin-bodied electric is that is has a strong acoustic voice. Surprised the heck out of me. On the basis of that voice, I'm thinking that the 10 thin-body will have an incredible acoustic voice.

You might also be jealous of the electronics on the 7. The Barbera pickup is about as clean as it gets. Combined with the active pickup and the volume and tone controls, the 7 had tone and projection that compete with any electric nylon strung guitar that I have played--and I've played most of them.

I suspect the 10 will be astounding. The longer scale and the wider bouts will enhance acoustic presence. The Graphtech, active pickup should make for an even more pronounced and clean presence.

But no, I'm not sitting here awaiting for just another piece of Emerald magic.
