I purchased this guitar used from the Chester Music Exchange in Chester, VT. I saw it in the window of the store and thought it would be a great replacement for the Silvertone (which at the time was laid up with a pulled neck). Liked her quite a bit from the first time I played her, but have truly come to love her after having Tucker Barrett set her up. Plays really well; can sound a little boxy straight up (probably due to the nickle-wound electric strings), but sounds great with low amplification, with, perhaps, a smidgen of chorus.
