I received my custom 000-42, built for me by Scott Baxendale, in 1989, and shortly after getting it it became my main stage guitar. It got sneered at by a lot of other players, especially the hardcore bluegrass guys. I remember playing a rousing set and getting a great audience response at a festival. Then, as I walked offstage, one of those guys said:
“When are you going to get a REAL guitar?!?”
I said: “This one seems to work pretty well...”
