The top on that is exquisite, Stuball!! Drooling a big. But do you play a dread on a chair with arms?

I recently purchased the GX just for that purpose. I play on whim now....so it's nice to grab and strum. I had my strat in that role.....But if have to plug in, tune....so it defeated the whim-thing. I am afraid to leave my acoustic out due to the extremes here in AZ. It was made, and played in RI it's entire life....until now.

My Westerly Guild A25 NT HR.

No one ever says much about 'em (good or bad) and they don't change hands for much when one becomes available for sale. But's fun to play, super comfortable, sounds sweet and I don't worry keeping it out of its case.

It's a couch guitar that's no slouch guitar.

No Tom, that is the picture I used in the early Fall for "Guilds In The Great Outdoors." It just happens to be the one on my guitar stand upstairs and the one I am playing this is week. I, actually, play sitting on our living room couch.

I raised a '36 Gibson L00 up from the grave. Someone had donated it to a nearby college's new luthier program, probably not knowing it's value. The dummies went at it with sanders and removed the burst and BRW bridge. I had a local guy copy a new one out of a rosewood blank and he expertly installed it. I had already finished off the sand job, and sprayed 5 coats of flat lacquer on plus peghead logo. Snooped around and found 30's correct Klusons, strung up with Dunlop 80/20 13's tuned a step down, D-D, and now I can't put it down. Best 700 bucks I ever spent.

Who the hell is teaching that college luthier program, a descendant of the Marquis de Sade?

I'd rather sit up straight and play a big guitar than lay back on the couch and play a small one.

Same for me. No couch guitar. Just guitars in constant rotation from case to guitar stand on an almost daily basis.
