    A person who can do a good demo of the guitars capabilities
    while not over talking or making it about himself etc.. is hard to find on YT.
    This person does a fantastic job of showcasing the instrument.
    I can really appreciate that, Thanks very much!

    Plays the right stuff, and never overplays. Dials the right sound to bring out the best he could possibly get out of the gear. Plays to demo and not to impress. THIS IS HOW EVERY DEMO SHOULD BE!!! I can listen to RJ play than any mindless shredders any day!!!

      But where's the craziness of Greg Koch? Imagine those two playn together? Is it just my old ears or....are larger guitars always better sounding? And this one dont show fingerprints!

    I have this guitar for 2 years now . And its a real killer. Nice looks , fretboard ,headstock and very cool color. Does feel little weird there is no lacquer on the body but it feels very alive. Needed to use a wound g string though or g string played not in tune.
