Veeeeeery nice.
And how long did it stay in that box and how long in the case, etc.?
No matter the answers, that's a real looker. :wink:
Congrats,
Joe

Thanks everybody.
Joe, I took the case out of the box when it arrived, late afternoon. Day time temps in Fla. have been in the low 70's, the box was in the truck for 4-5 hours so I figured that was fine. I did not open the case for about 3 hours. Guitar was well packed and came thru the shipping fine. If it was cold outside and the guitar had been in the truck all day I would have been a lot more cautious.
First impressons are very good. I like a bit of relief in the neck but this ones got a bit to much. So just a truss rod tweak. Action is very nice. Guitar was advertised as having a Barcus Berry, under bridge pickup. What it actually has is a piezo, under saddle pickup (I assume it's a BB thinline). First impression of that is just ok. It's got a bit of that piezo "quack" so we'll see. Straight acoustic, she has a very nice, bold and bright sound. Lots of volume and presence. Not as low end rumbly as the D-60. Very comfortable to play.

You might try one of these preamps to get rid of the quack....fairly inexpensive and a great preamp imho http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/ADI21.aspxevenkeel said:
I used to have an F112 which is the same size guitar I believe and it's shape and size was one of the most comfortable I have played. Enjoy your new blonde :wink:
