So you can hit it hard without hurting the upper area of the top. Its made for serious right arm action, Rose.

I hadn't seen this thread just yet (past couple days have been crazy) but was flipping through my BlackBerry last night just a few minutes before we went onstage, and had a note from Niki indicating the guitar had arrived and that he had indeed decided NOT to auction it off. Gave me a smile and an extra little boost of Fender-induced energy right before hittin' the stage! Anyway, big congrats to Niki on scoring a killer guitar -- enjoy it!

It really is a tremendous guitar that hasnt ceased to suprise me. Bassy, clear, great for slide. Its very stable when switching tunings and projects sound really well. It has a very strident voice.

I honestly cant thank you enough for this prize and talking me into keeping it. Every time I pick it up I find something new that I like.

Cheers Brad.
