Silent night

Last night- anything but quiet. Had been going unplugged on most days. Trying to approach my playing from another perspective, something less linear. Due to being too comfortable with the electric, I can't quite get cohesive ideas going. 

Also, I'm of the opinion that mahogany makes some of the best acoustic tones around. I'm not into that spanking strumming projection, more of the reserved, finger picking type. Quite the total opposite from my solid body, amplified, excessively driven approach. The reason why I resort to the acoustic for fresh ideas.

Fresh PRS SE @ Davis

The above PRS SE models are new at Davis GMC: Mikael Akerfeldt model (List: $950)/ Torero (List: $1,250). Upon handling these gorgeous darlings (remember, visual attraction does not always equal immaculate performance), it seems that the good people over at the World Music Factory (Korea) have increased production standards of sorts; these instruments made their class difference felt in this price bracket. The QC manifestations here are very different from the initial batch of Santana SE units I used to try. Very impressive indeed.
