PS: my poor (and more expensive) Larrivee DV09 has been in its case for the whole month.
I have a Yamaha LS-TA, which I love! I added a bone saddle and some ebony bridge pins, which made a subtle difference, but I'm very happy indeed with it overall. And yes, Yamaha say that this guitar will make you play acoustic more, which has been 100% true for me, and which is surely what it's all about?!!
