hhhmmm.... starting to wonder if I should have saved the extra few bucks for the seagull....

it's ok. the music store has an exchange policy so I can just "upgrade" =) may be worth it from the feedback I've gotten from here and a few other friends that said the same. We'll see.. still lovin the takamine and from what I understand, it was a decent price. I'll keep ya posted on my next dumbass move!

thanks
