Default Vintage Shorty from RS

Does anyone have one of the vintage model shorties yet? If so sure would love to hear your revue of it. I looked back on the forum and didn't see any.

I've not seen anyone post with firsthand experience with the Vintage Shorty but Aaron Short covers the WS version pretty extensively here in the first video and then a short comparison between the V-OM1000NS and a Martin 000-18 in the second vid

The second video above is a "Vintage Shorty", except that the back and top is constructed like a Concert series. I think it is better sounding than the Martin.

The original shorty used fiberglass for select layers.

Thanks for putting that up, I put it on some good speakers and I actually think the Martin gets lower marks for sustain and volume, I am impressed by the tone of the V model, that wood infused top must have a warming affect, I actually don't hear the usual carbon ring in there. Pretty amazing really. The thing I find most desirable is the short scale and sting spacing, should be a good little practice guitar for flatpicking and Busking....
