Yes, you don't need to marry the thing, just play it and enjoy it.
I am really enjoying my 717e, both acoustically and electrically. While some others here have complained of various issues with theirs, mine is just plain faultless. I'm sure some of you could find a flaw. The 717e has joined a small group of my guitars that sound great plugged
direct to my Boss VE8, no extra gadgets, just direct. Cool!
I was going to lose a few guitars but we seem to be going through a bit of a lull/recession? and the guitars on the very dangerous wall I visit occasionally seem to be staying around a long while. I was going to consign 2 guitars and I was told this was the maximum amount they take...except someone consigned his whole collection of 10, including the same guitars as I was going to consign. Pfft. So worse, far worse than selling or trading, they have gone in ...gulp... the closet.
