Well, when the AC 3 arrives and after some time with it let us know what you think. I had one for a while. I sent it to a friend on the west coast. We haven't had a detailed discussion about it but he's using it.

Looks like your getting acquainted and dialing it in with your set up.

2) When I first started playing, I strummed directly over the sound hole (similar to where you're strumming), and noticed that while the guitar has a nice 'chimey' tone, that most people strum farther back -- over the large part of the pickguard and near the rear (bridge side) of the sound hole. Too far back and it sounds like a bluegrass picker. Too far forward and it sounds like a hard. There is a sweet spot for the guitar and your ear.

I appreciate your posts and your willingness to share your talent with us. Keep it up!
