I got this Silver Creek T-160 on a Black Friday special from Music 123. It was a fantastic deal at $150 shipped. The guitar has great sustain, and loves open tunings.
After being without an acoustic guitar for a couple of years, I really began to get the itch to have another one. We recently moved to a house after living as boarding school dorm parents for 6 years, so it was ok to have a louder acoustic (I wouldn't disturb anyone). I read about these OOO sized guitars online--apparently Silver Creek is Musician's Friend/Music 123's house brand. These guitars are solid wood (with spruce tops (http://www.ethanlewis.org/gtr00/silvercreek/top.jpg) and mahogany backs and sides (http://www.ethanlewis.org/gtr00/silvercreek/back.jpg)) and built to the specs of 1930's era Martins, including a large pyramid volute (http://www.ethanlewis.org/gtr00/silvercreek/volute.jpg) on the neck.
Here is a clip of some chords and finger picking I did in Open D tuning (http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8470585). Thanks for looking and listening.
