I'm in the "loved it" camp. I recently created a Catfish Keith Pandora station, and this video typifies the songs on there to which I have been giving a thumbs-up.

I like percussive string-plucking, but I very much dislike other kinds of percussive playing, e.g., using the guitar as a drum, or even smacking the strings with the nails / thumb.

I didn't mean to roll off topic with my last post and I agree with many that maybe the video wasn't the best way to 'show' the guitar. But I am still in the 'love' category. If Mr. Catfish can do that- all out into it- then I believe that guitar would be willing to succumb to any type of playing. There is still a subtleness within the hard play and between the hard play. It seems to be all there as a guitar. And I like me some Catfish. Win-Win on this end.

That guitar sounded bright with no bass whatsoever. I'm sure a Fairbanks J35 can sound great, but that demo didnt cut it. I'd love to hear Toby Walker play that guitar.

I enjoyed the demo. That is, I enjoyed listening to Catfish Keith. But I already have a guitar that sounds the way he made that one sound. It's an old Harmony H-1260.

Style aside, wasn’t the guitar in the listing a different one than the one being played by the Catfish?

Yeah, there is that. But no one around here is too picky about nuance and specs of that nature.................
