Well, I just stopped at a dealer on my way back from swimming tonight. They usually have a pretty good selection. They had a brand new swamp ash special, so I played it for a bit. I must say I am much more comfortable playing acoustics now but when I've got a nice amp I still know some nice chords. I liked the sound of the guitar. The extra pickup is nice to have and being able to split the coils gives the guitar nice flexibility. I'm going to try and make it out to Willie's pretty soon here and take a look at the used one they have. As for the 24 frets, I'll never play up that high any more so I don't need them. It would be nice to have the fixed bridge but taking the tremolo bar off is easy (and it's not a floyd rose). I like the look of the used one better but we'll have to see what kind of deal I could get on it and how bad the wear is on it. But for almost a grand cheaper than the new one it's probably worth it.
