Just got myself a Freshman Apollo 3DC. It's a Dreadnought Electro Acoustic Cutaway. The cutaway doesnt bother me too much but like you I dont stray that far down the fretboard. It is solid AA Grade Sitka Spruce and has Mahogany back & sides. It also has a Mahogany bound body with maple strip Mahogany bound headstock & Rosewood fingerboard and a natural finish. For what it's worth it's fantastic value for money a beautiful looking plank of wood. I used it at a gig last night for the first time and the sound through my  Roland PA was superb. Very natural and clean. Freshman are a family run Scottish company that strive to use sustainable sources which endeared them to me even further. Highly recommended.

Hi people. I play regular pub gigs and I'm racking my brains trying to think of new songs to play. If anyone out there has any suggestions of new songs that might go down well I'd appreciate it. Popular newish songs I've tried so far are American Boy, Paparazzi, Empire State of Mind, All The Lovers.

Can anyone suggest something else?
