Classic design and good tone. I don't care too much for the finish that's pictured but I'm sure they have other options. Congrats Doc,hope you get much enjoyment from your new axe

Just a guess but it's possible that from being more used to playing an acoustic that you're simply applying too much pressure to the strings. With the neck being somewhat narrower and the strings being closer to the fretboard you're cramping your fingers into a smaller space and applying more pressure than needed. Try lightening up on your grip and see if that helps. You may have to concsiously  think about this to do it as your hand and brain are trained to apply a certain amount of pressure to get your acoustic to play properly. I am not a doctor nor do I portray one on t.v.

Hey pix,did some looking and evidently nobody has permission from the publisher to post his music yet. I had never heard of this guy until I read your post and followed the link. I'll take a shot at figuring out the chord progression and see what happens. Pretty good song, thanks for the link to it. This is one of the great things about Chordie, getting turned on to artists and bands you may never discover on your own.

Listen to Warren Zevon-Werewolves of London for the verse and Lynyrd Skynyrd-Sweet Home Alabama for the chorus. This song draws heavily from these two classics. You should have no problem figuring it out

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure someone will), but I believe Neil is referring to Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols who died at an early age. Concerning Neils lead playing, although I'm a huge fan and have been for many years, I agree that he is not the greatest or even among the top 25. Neils style is similar to many of the guitarists from the sixties,fairly simple runs following the melody line of the song. But all in all what he lacks in lead skills or vocal skills for that matter(the first time my daughter heard him she asked me who that whiney sounding guy was) he is a great and talented songwriter and performer who has stood the test of time

You might want to check out the Applause series by Ovation. I have an Ovation and have played a couple of Applause and couldn't tell much difference in the two. They are a decent guitar for the money and like the Ovation have a very fast slim neck,good tone and projection and also allow you to go electric without adding a soundhole pickup or having to mic it. You can check them out online at www.musiciansfriend.com or at www.guitarcenter.com. If that dosen't fit the bill then you may want to look at the Jasmine series by Takamine. These are also a great guitar for the money and play very well.
