So my new Fender replacement finally came. it's gorgeous. before i was a little concerned about how i'd like it, and while i do still prefer the dreadnaught/jumbo/big gigantic guitar sound, this one doesn't sound too bad. much thinner in tone than i prefer, but i do kinda like it and plan on keeping it. it's a different sound, and not in a bad way, like i thought it might be. the grain patterns on the laminated and stained ash back and sides is just amazing looking. i think it's the guitar's best physical feature. it's just eh plugged in, but i can tweak it with my amp. anyways, ON TO THE PICS!!!! sorry for the flash spots, my bedroom is a poor place to take pictures

Cool dude :D

I'm glad everything worked out for you.

Hope you two have lots of fun.

I can see it has a compensated saddle, but is the nut compensated too?

some cool things i see inyour room -

1.) your upside down slipper (only one lol)
2.) a martin hardshell case (don't tell me you have a martin or i will almost get burned ...with GAS)
3.) a banner saying ''AREA : AUTHORIZED PERSONAL ONLY "

Is that enough , yes i think so ... well almost :lol:

Rahul,

I have so many of those sandals that they are everywhere.

and no that is not a Martin case, it's just a Martin sticker on it, but there is a Martin guitar inside it. it's my baby.

Nice new guitar Brian! I like the smaller-bodied acoustics. You said it's "eh" plugged in - have you tried it in an acoustic amp? I hate the sound of my Yamaha through my Tech21 amp, but it's beautiful through my Acoustasonic.
