I was making reference to another string instrument that comes from your neck of the woods. I probably messed up the spelling though.

On a related topic...what is a Bajo Sexto guitar? Is that aclassical or Spanich guitar.

I just had to look it up when I heard it mentioned. I see strings for it all the time at juststrings.com, but to me, at least, it looks like a short-scale 12-string. This one place says the tuning is fF - cC - gG - dD - aA - eE (high to low), though this other place says the high strings are in unison rather than octaves.

and there's a short article on it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bajo_sexto

Interesting instrument though.

How's the unplugged sound on that Applause? They sure look fun :)
If I'm not getting the Martin right away, think I'd rather get something different than just a cheaper copy. But that's me :?

Unplugged the Applause is good enough. Of couse it is a soprano. There is not much there to start with. For acoustic performance be sure to look into a tenor or concert size.
