I play a Godin A6 Ultra on gigs, a similar instrument to the DD at about half the price. The main distinction I see is that mine has a UST that can be blended with a magnetic pickup while the DD blends the UST with a mic. I have not played the DD but like mine it is meant to be played plugged in and therefore won’t sound like much unplugged. My A6 is a fantastic gigging instrument that I wish I had years ago. If the price tag of the DD frightens you, as it would me, I encourage you to explore the A6. However, I am sure if you decide on the Doyle Dykes, you won’t be disappointed.
