I thought it was an SD-60 but owner Robb of Guitar Emporium in Seattle handed it to me and said to play it slowly so the sound could bounce around awhile inside before settling out.  He wasn't kidding.

It was tuned down to A and the thick A string sounded like a bass string.  The 12-fret slothead rosewood baritone just rumbled as I pretended I was Leo Kottke.  Yeah, I'm sure Leo tunes down to B or A, this guitar sure had that vibe.  The longer scale was no problem.  I found myself doing some new stuff that just came easily.  I wonder if the baritone was like a puppy in the kennel telling me to take him home...   ^_^

I am impressed.  Some extra dough someday might find this one in my stable.
Play it daily for best results.
