OH, my gosh...what a wonderful instrument! For anyone considering purchasing a new guitar, I can recommend this one. It's a Zager guitar, and they have a website where Danny Zager, who builds them, gives many video demo's as well as explaining why they're easier to play. I ordered the 50 acoustic model, because it is smaller body and much like the Martin 0018 I had inherited from my dad, but this one is much better than the Martin, and a Martin would have cost in the $1000's.
I'll let you know if I actually begin playing actively. Right now it's just relearning much of what I've forgotten.
