    I was initially really jonesing for the sunburst, but the Cherry was a much better deal through Tim, and now that I have it, I really like it! DVM, your red one also is a beaut!

    Nice review, Steve! Thanks for taking the time to post it.
    Beautiful guitar, and I also play differently on different guitars I own.
    I think the red looks gorgeous, btw.
    I only have one red guitar now....more on that later.
    Kudos on your killer deal on this one!

    Steve,

    Not being a big fan of sunburst, I definitely think the red is better. It's simply a classy guitar.

    I am also glad you've taken such a liking to the semi HB, but it's tough not to.

    Now stop posting pictures, I'm cut off for awhile. The trade was ok, but buying another one would not go over well. Hmm, maybe I'll get a hold of the guy you bought yours from and see if he wants to trade $500 (or less) for one like yours.

    Enjoy buddy, you earned that guitar.

    Congrats, SVL - sounds (and looks) like you've got a keeper. I also enjoy going back and forth between my Washburn 335 clone and the Fullerton to play with the different tone colors and bite. Have fun!
