Minumulto parin ako ng GY mo Alex hahaha. After reading again this thread I realized and to some extent bothered, that a guitar's response and character is often overlooked. Guitarists have to realize, that timbre alone is not what a good guitar is all about.

Sir, I think there are no soundclips or videos (no recording device/equipment can capture the magic).
Google is your friend.
