Looks nice!
Shame you didn't ask me first...I have a spare one you could have had for nothing
..oh well moving on.....
...seriously, it does look like a nice guitar...my concern with it, like all 'electro acoustics' is the claim about it's pre amp tone when DI'd into a desk:
The Grand Master is fitted with a Schertler Bluestick condenser mic undersaddle pick up, with class A active pre amp. This is the only system of guitar transducer, capable of faithfully producing, amplified the power and grace of the Grand Master guitar
I have yet to find a Guitar capable of giving a great acoustic tone when DI'd through an on board pre amp...I have never tried one of these though. In my experience electro acoustic on board pre amps give a digital, harsh sound...no 'air'...although this one has a condenser rather than a piezzo or whatever they are called.
Most engineers would rather simply mic up a 'normal' acoustic guitar with two, maybe three mics I think....although playing live would be different...doubtless then the sound would be more than adequate through an amp or direct to the PA.
I have a Takamine 2000LTD edition, it looks cool, plays well and sounds good live, but in a recording studio I would take another guitar in and Mic it up to avoid the digital edge.
Having said all that it depends on what you are recording...Acoustic guitar out on it's own dictates a perfect...more traditional mic'd tone I feel, however if you are playing in a band with this and it is to sit in a mix then I reckon the Pre amp thing wouldn't be to much of an issue really.
...I get regular attacks of gear Gas...I have just bought a Marshall JMP 1 valve pre amp, A new Korg DT-10 tuner, Two celestion Vintage 30 speakers to go in some Marshall 1x12 cabs, a set of ECC83S Matched Triode JJ Tesla Tubes, a set of
ECC83S Balanced JJ Tesla Tubes & a Matched Quad of 6L6GC JJ Tesla Tubes for a Marshall 50/50 stereo power amp and the JMP 1.
As I type I am bidding on
EBay for a new guitar effects processer (TC electronic G major) and a Midi controller....it goes on...never ending...you should see this studio...there is so much gear in it I don't even use half of it....but still I get GAS....oh yeah and then there is the imminent NEED for a new bike....fortunately my MRS is resigned to her fate and doesnt protest....well not to my face anyway
