Man, that thing is sweet - I always loved how a good P-90 archtop has a way of sounding both acoustic and electric at the same time (my Godin CW II also has this capacity) and, as a longtime fan/owner (and recent total convert) of three-pickup electrics of whatever type, they've got a full-range tonality that no two-PU guitar can match...
