Topic: GAS and NGD

I have been suffering from GAS for a while and I have been impatiently waiting for her to arrive for the past three weeks. The anxiety has been almost overwhelming at times, but today relief came this lunchtime -NGD.

HAPPY NGD!  Beautiful!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Zurf is spot on about the wood combination producing a great tone.  Congrats on the new string box Roger.

Re: GAS and NGD

That's a great looking new guitar, Roger ... congrats to you! The cedar + mahogany combo typically has a warm tone that lends itself well to ballads and folk tunes.

Have a blast with it!
