First 30 minutes down, have managed to plough through inbox already, hope it's a busy day because this is going to be torture...

Cool! I don't see myself playing acoustic standing up very much, either. I think I might enjoy a good preamp though...

According to various folks here on the forum the L.R. Baggs I-Mix system seems to be a favorite.

Cool, Jeff! - hopefully the next 4 hours or so will pass by quickly for you! :)

BTW, coincidently, I received a recently purchased 620 WHT BT at work today!

Nice! I think I'd quite like a 620, I tried a 620/12 and it just didn't wrok for me, hence the 660/12...

Anyone know what's up with this? Two of the strings hit the name plate and are super hard to tune as a result...

Jim, I CAN make you feel better about the 660-12. They are wider spaced then the 300 series 12ers and thus easier to play. :wink:

I'll check when I get home, but I think that's normal, IIRC.
