Thanks ya'll. Yeah Chuk, the string through body is better on sustain. I put a tusk nut albiet synthetic, on it and the 'thang really sings. Not sure why any guitar manufacturer bothers to start off with a plastic nut. Kind of like buying a Corvette with all four tires just like those midget spares you see. I am liking the guitar so much, I am already thinking of buying another just like it. A back up for the back up if you will, but maybe tuned to open G for slide. Shake your money maker baby.
Cheers, TB.
