Thanks - yes a 3/4 scale Bo Diddley Gretsch. Fun little thing.
The SP is just about what you'd expect - an old jazz box with a horseshoe that screams. It makes for a handy hand rest too. The tone from the wood is great too. Something about that aged wood. I've only got it up to DGCFAD (one whole step down) and the action is medium at best, so I think I'll leave it there until I try lighter strings. The neck is straight, but pitched as far forward as the pickup surround will allow. So while it's adjustable, this one isn't. But it's still fun. It looks a little delicate but once you play a few chords you realize it isn't as delicate as it looks, so it's fun. I'll try to post a recording this weekend.

They're great guitars! I love mine! Whoever thought about putting a HS pickup in an acoustic body? They were insane! They sure do scream!

JDog, I really dig how individual your collection is. I like the way you don't necessarily follow fashion trends. You set them!
Great guitars....love the turq and the acoustic 'specially.

Darren, that's about one of the nicest things anyone has said to me, thanks. I have to say it's all possible because of the great friendships I've had with you all.
At a particular request, here is the 450/12... interesting neck/fretboard... you'll see...
