Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | Gawd I love 'nutmeg'! Just received/unpacked this 'un. I now have found a worthy replacement for the veteran CB-SB I sent to Riccardo.
Two minor checks, three small dimples and one major mature sound! 'Iffy's Beauty Treatment' next, as soon as I put her down long enough...

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I'm tempted every time I see one of those. Then I pick up my Patriot to fight of the urge. How do they compare Iffy?
MAN they're nice looking instruments! |

I'll have to get back to ya on a comparison. But my first impression is that this top has really opened up (much like the CB-1 I had).
Although I'm leaning toward to wider necks, this is really a sweet mature 'O'. I'll try to follow up sometime later this week. |

As an aside, after just 'plucking' around a bit, I think she may be one of the best tonally 'balanced' 'O's I have. No string is dominant nor weak. She doesn't boom, but she has that sweet warm embrace that says "Stay with me tonight!"  |

Location: Vernon CT | Nice Get Iffy!! I too like the "Nutmeg look". Once I become Employed again, pay off a few bills I'm aquiring. I will look for one like yours. Preferably an A/E

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Iffy, I still have mine that I purchased new in '81. It was my only guitar for 20 years and I played it everywhere. There was nothing I wouldn't do with it. That's probably why it sounds so nice today. |
