Smile Interesting compliment today

This morning I played at one of my rather noisy recurring monthly Healthcare facility gigs. Probably 25 folks in the room, and a bunch of stuff going on. It went well as usual and fun was had by the folks who were awake! Hahah

As I was leaving a gentleman who's room was across the hall came to his door and asked what kind of guitar I was playing. He said it sounded great and he could hear it well in his room. He wondered what kind of amplifier I was using!!! When I told him it was not amplified at all he was really surprised and asked all about it and John, which slowed down my exit considerably.

This kind of thing occurs often with John's Round Peaks. Think oversized 12 fret Slope Dread with a slightly pinched waist. (Or a Taylor GS with a flatter butt)
But it is not so much the size, as the construction, I figure. It also happened often with John's #99 which is a 12 fret 000 cutaway.

Woohoo. The next will be even FATTER.

Cheers
