Hey Roger,

I've been playing the "Baby T" every available minute since I got it.  I am in awe of what a great guitar it is--not only a great guitar for me, but a totally great guitar on any objective scale of value.

I feel telling you this is not enough.  I feel I need also to hold a parade and set off fireworks.

I've been playing guitar for over 40 years and this guitar is the best guitar I have ever played.  As I told you, I play with a heavy touch, but with wide ranging dynamics--from whispering touches to full aggression grabs.  You set the guitar up so that it is deeply responsive.  Even the Bach pieces I fingerpick sound spectacular as I can dig in a bit and get a tonal response.  The "voice" of the guitar has great nuance.

The single knob is perfect.  All the nuance I could possibly want is available to me.  I have some excellent pedals (a Cornish duplex and a few BJF pedals, among others), but all I do now is plug straight in and with my one knob I can do everything--from soft chords to full on screaming lead.  It is all there!  

I just want you to know how deeply I appreciate your art. 

John

ps/ I'll let you know when I schedule the parade and fireworks demonstration.
