  Excellent...  I wouldn't really have expected different.  Washburn's a decent
brand.  I finally decided to restring my 12 with 12 strngs and see if I could
handle it again.  *grin*  Took a few days, but got the dexterity back (a little
- enough to play background, anyway).

  Which meant I had a serious 6-string deficit in the house, so I went out and
picked up a Samick 6-string box.

  Then the Woman decided she wanted to learn how to play, and couldn't follow
me very well while I was mirroring her with the 12, so I just picked-up a
beautiful all black Aleca acoustic/electric.

  I figure I'll go after higher-quality versions of eaqch type down the line,
but right now...  These fairly inexpensive boxes truly sound gorgeous,
particularly together.
