Picked up the 2001 SCGC F Cutaway strung with Elixer Custom lites ( Reccommended by Chris) and was able to get in 2 full hrs. of S.O.C. wanderings…….great guitar/string combo. America’s 2-3 chord stuff is really fun on this guitar……. April 7, 2023 at 5:55 am #8116 DanielParticipant Lots of fundamentals in the tone? (My very limited experience of German spruce is that it was super responsive and very focussed, but that could be becaise the guitar was brand new.) Daniel April 7, 2023 at 12:39 pm #8117 HankParticipant Bright, Jazzy (with the Elixers) and yet well rounded notes…..Sounds like a wine snob…… The guitar was built in late 2000 and has aged wonderfully…….A true keeper.
