Location: Upper Left USA | Positives: You get to do what we have all been chatterin about for months - actually side by side compare and TOUCH and FEEL and SMELL these instruments.
Negatives: The Visa Bill at 22%.
PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER MAN! Go down there and try them and give us a full report! Is it not better to have loved and not bought than to never have loved at all?
Where there any pretty girls you kissed that you wish you hadn't? Maybe that should go on a different string.
Hey, any Music Store smart enough to stock these deserves some kind of reward - go see em. |

| Yes, get down there. I'd like to hear more opinions, even if they disagree with my own. I haven't heard many opinions and comparisons between the lx models. |

I know I've been a pest but I'm hungry for input (your output). The other day my server was down for 30 minutes and I had to actually talk with my wife and kids. It was scary. |

Didn't you say that you used to have a Deluxe Balladeer shiney bowl? Play the LX's and tell us how they compare. |

Location: Athens, GA & Gnashville | Yes, and I now have another Deluxe shiny bowl! :)
I played the Elite and the Legend LX's. The two I played are a step in the right directon. I will not be buying one. At least, neither of these two. |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | Thanks for the insight, Goober. I'm thinking about going to Elderly in Lansing Saturday to look at their Standard Elite LX and their non-LX Legend. With your thoughts, I won't feel so bad if my ears tell me the Legend is the one that should follow me home.
I have to admit, as an engineer, I don't have warm, fuzzy feelings about scalloped braces and the longevity of an instrument. I certainly do understand WHY they should sound better, though.
