I had run across that vid as well, and this one highlights the nice woody cleans really well I think. Now if I can only get myself playing as well as the vids one of these days. Yah, I am very happy with the find. And with the deals Spud and me found, it is to me a no brainer if you are in the market for this type of guitar. I think ol' Spudley is happy too that I turned us on to them, based on his report from his first gig with his. I was in Boise on Thursday and checked out the Gretsch Electromactic Hollowbodys, both the single cutaway and new double cutaway (which is really cool), and they are sweet as well, but I really love this guitar. The full hollowbody Electromactics are not as diverse as this semihollow Viking guitar in my opinion.
