Nice...the guitar sounds really good, and there was some nice licks in there too. Those old "lawsuit" guitars are really hit and miss but it sounds like you found a good one. I was always blown away by some the Tak's and Yairi's from that era, some really nice sounding guitars. It's kind of odd that the guitar is modeled after a Martin but has the Gibson style adjustable saddle. I bought an old '71 Gretsch Dorado hummingbird copy and replaced the saddle with one of these: http://www.philadelphialuthiertools....ustic-guitars/ it improved the tone and may be something you would want to consider, even the ones on Gibson guitars are often tone suckers, not their best idea. I had to sand quite a bit to get it fit well, but it did improve tone. The Watson guitar seem to be a cool find..........keep enjoying it.

Nice guitar indeed. Coincidentally I have stringed my Epi with Martin's 80/20 about two months ago. For now is the best string set I have tested. Nice tone.
