Dweez, glad you're overall happy with the guitar. In the great picture of things, this is a very small problem that is easily addressed.
You want a real thrill with your 1537? Have another play whom you respect play it and sit about 5 feet in front of him. You will be astounded at the sound coming from your guitar. One of the great oddities of the Elite series is that they sound so much better to the listener than to the person playing it.
You're gonna love owning this guitar..... |

Location: Carle Place, NY | I find that putting air locks on the lower epaulets increases the sound projection to the player, as well as increasing the bass response.
Has anyone tried this on a 1537? I have them on mine, but the top was replaced. I'm curious about how an original 1537 would sound with the air locks. |

It must be a carryover from his previous life. I'd take his advice seriously. Don't sweat the small stuff. |

Really warming to it - I kinda like the missing piece now - makes it uniquely mine :)
And it is in tip top condition - pics to follow... |
