Thanks blue.

sonically and aesthetically I have no issues with the 'hog top. It's a beauty axe.

What has happened over the last year or so... but I didn't face up to it til this last season, is my 50+ finger joints are starting to get cranky (arthritis). The first joint in my left pointer finger gets so sore sometime that fretting the b string on a C chord can be downright painful.  So I am moving to shorter a scale guitar... getting serious about adapting my playing to my changing health (it helps to have an occupational therapist as my wife!) It's a lifestyle change.

Fret not. I'm not unloading all my long scale guitars... I'm keeping my '48 Harmony... course it's only used for SLIDE  :GRN>

Mark, do you have this guitar strung with mediums?  I'm wondering if lights would help with the joint problem.  I feel your pain, man! 

The guitar is beautiful.   I love the look of those openbacks.  Someone is going to get a great instrument for the money.

Darrell

thanks for the compliments
The open backs not only look better, but they tune better than the stock tuners (my opinion)

I have had Pearse and Newtone lights (11-50's) on there
It plays very nice -- don't get me wrong, and I even had my tech lower the action (I play mostly fingerstyle)

I know that some players don't buy into the short scale = easier to play bit... but I must admit that the 0018V that I found recently does feel 'softer' on my fingers for lack of a better term, to me. I"m sure this equates to some minor loss of volume or projection... but at this point, as I'm a couch player anyway, it's better for me. The 00 is closer in size and 'buzz' to my first love (an 0-17 from the 30's). The Larrivee OM's (I have owned 3) have served me well for many years. This OM will blossom into a tone monster, but it NEEDS A PLAYER!

If I hadn't just got the estimate from the dentist on braces for 3 kids... Someone please buy this so I can stop drooling on my keyboard!
