Glad you got the reverb dialed a little better.

If you ever wanna have some fun, try running your vocals through the guitar effects. It has made me want to make a separate pedal board just for vocals.
The J-29 has a Tusq saddle, if I recall correctly. I am pretty sure I am done with piezo pickups. Thanks for the tip about using guitar effects for vocals - I may play around with that at some point.
