You'll have to come to the Peoples Republic of Minnesota, though - the state where absolutely nothing is allowed. Or, if it is, it's mandatory.

And that was *before* COVID-19

Interesting to see the gloss and satin X30 woodies side by side. The satin is quite sharp! I'm a guy who chooses my seating at concerts on the right side of the house whenever possible, so I am not blinded by reflections from the guitar top throughout the show.

That's very tasty indeed. Subtle and elegant - and it probably won't show fingermarks anywhere near as much as the gloss.

I think it might look even better on one of the smaller instruments.

Another lovely selection of guitars (and one harp uke) in that shipping video. Satin... glossy... looks like a win/win to me.

If you order a glossy model, does it come with a shirt that reads: "Not today, Satin"?

Yeah, I know: back in my corner.

what a nice preview of what is to come! Pretty pleased :-)

RP - that satin finish is pretty cool, nice choice!

Simon - thanks for sharing the video!

Had to take a snip of the video.

I believe so!

Thanks, I'm pleased. I expect you are, too.

Here is a snip of yours. I think I enjoy that satin finish, too.
