Tone and playability! Amazing dreadnought with both a deep, full strum on chords and clear, solid notes on leads. It plays perfectly up and down the neck. Well played by a local pro guitarist. AB-ed it against several other D1As and this one has something special. K&K pure mini pickup installed that sounds great! Baked Adirondack top AND braces - both were an upgrade. Baked top really does make a difference and gives punch with a vintage vibe, too.
