I bought a Guild Travel Mahogany Mini Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar from Musician's Friend SDOD a couple of years ago. I leave it sitting out in my living room and everyone that visits likes to pick it up. They're around $250 online, but I got mine for half that because it was the SDOD. I'll take it outside when my young neighbor girls want to strum a bit (they're in the 5-8 age range), and it works great for their small hands.

I've done it with 3 wives.

I wonder if this came out of the video that the guy from Gibber did with Rick looking through his guitars. 🤩

A handful I kinda like.....Three are figured maple, the other is bookmatched and carved Brazilian. Longer story on how that came to be..... I have had some pretty nice Hamers as well. 🤩

My one and only flame top and Hamer. Some years back I wanted a PRS Private Stock or Santana was a long term goal. Found this Studio Cutom (for much less) and haven’t looked back.

The cable is fine. Super deal on super strings.

Ahhh, the Doublecut Classic! One of the best guitars out there for the money. A friend of mine has one. It's Killer! Enjoy that bad boy!

See you there!

So did you keep it or send it back? I am a little confused and I promise I haven’t been drinking today..,though there is still time!

Looks pretty "Ultimate" from here!🤘

Great news. Thanks Ted!

I'm pretty sure it would be considered an 'Ultimate' top? wasn't that what they were calling the better ones in the last days?

I'm drooling over the Hamer, personally. Gorgeous.

Second a Taylor, also Larrivee. Used will get you more and one in good shape shouldn’t be hard to find.

That, too!

...and if this ever-changing world in which we live in...

Or he's a fucking moron.

The Vertex guy's video about the same idea reminded me that I have an old Behringer Tube Ultragain mic 100 that would probably do similar. The Behringer would be better if it had a standard power input size, it's 9v, but they had to use that 'other size'. Some guys in some of the comments were sarcastically stating "I run my modeler through a tube amp to get a more authentic amp sound" or something like that

Just traded my VN and another pedal for a Mad Professor 1 and a HBE Germanium Boost. The, “chewiness”, of the MDV is what sold me, along with the treadle control.

That may be part of the price. If you pay a couple hundred too much, you feel like a fool. If you pay thousands more than what others expect to pay, you must know something they don't. The price will justify itself.

some song lyrics that always leave me puzzled, unless I'm hearing them wrong: Only time will tell if we stand the test of time (vh sammy) Let your inhibitions run wild (Rod Stewart, 'tonight's the night') It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not (bon jovi)

Meanwhile back at the Ranch...

I probably could have lived without this, but I can really hear the difference. You might call it the proverbial "take the blanket off your speaker cabinet" difference. Obviously it will have more impact if you have a large pedal board and/or play with a longer cord (after the unit!) all of which means compounded capacitance. And it should sweeten things up a bit for those using a modeler. OTOH, such as Jimi did just fine with cheap ass coil cords when he cranked up his Marshalls.....🤔 I do like that it has no AC cord (like older versions) and can be powered by your board mounted power supply.

Many many thanks, Ted!
