ahh yes, talagang different folks, different strokes, hehe. ako i actually like the throaty sound of the 000-15, hehe. kaya mas gusto ko small body. kanya kanyang tastes lang yan ika nga, hehe. i've yet to try the santa cruz acoustics. oo nga eh i think puro prewar ang style nila ng pag-build ng guitars, or sa prewar edition lang yun? hehehe. sana talaga may magdistribute na ng blueridge guitars dito, hehe. na-try mo na ba yung mga yun dave?
regarding pledge, i dunno if it has any effect on the finish. pero i don't think it'll build up on the finish. best nalang siguro if you just wipe your guitar down with a soft piece of cloth (or pranela, 9 for 100, hehe) after you play it. i understand na you're going through the phase na super OC when it comes to your guitar, hehe. believe me pre, phase lang yan, hehe. everything will be different once your guitar gets its first "ding" hehehe. but then again, for me, "dings" are good kasi it sort of gives a guitar that "played-in" look, hehe. added character or as farseer would put it, "mojo" hehe. ayos yan pre. love your instrument, pero don't love it too much, hehehe. if you know what i mean...
