Hello Bill...
Thanks for the comments.
Yeah, they can be hard on the left hand - but like you say, nothing else sounds like them. Kind of like riding an old Indian Chief. Mossman guitars a very nice..as are so many these days. Although Taylor makes a great product - something about many of the models seem a bit cookie cutter to me. Back in 1980 I had two of Bob's first jumbos, a 815 6 string, and an 855 12 string...both with mustache bridges and quite collectible today. Wish I still had them.
