Cecil;

It is an incredible guitar. Its beauty starts with a case that is one of the best I've seen. The guitar is as beautiful as it gets. The sound is great and the guitar plays well. But I think I will be passing it along.

Alistair and I have had a semantic moment. My notion of "thin-body" and his notion of "slim-line" vary. Or, putting it another way, his map is not my territory. This electric 10 is thinner than my acoustic 10 but nowhere near the thinness of the electric nylon 7.

I am not playing the guitar at the moment, while I think about keeping it or going for the territory sought. It's a bit disconcerting, but I console myself with my Ruby Emerald 10 acoustic, the electric 7, and the RS Parlor. No tears here--just a lot of thought. This research and development stuff is hard work.
