Location: South of most, North of few | Came to my house as part of a trial tour. It's very small, light (chambered body), and easy to play. Very hot pickups. I think they need to work on the fit and finish a little, but a nice first offering anyway.

Location: Texas | Interesting. That body looks incredibly thin… can you shave with it? Seriously, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable playing that, it's like the opposite end of the spectrum from a deep bowl Ovation.
I like the appearance though, (no big surprise, since I love the 2080's) black and stealth-looking, anything else and it might be called "cute." ;)
…and no neck-reset or truss-rod adjustment ever needed (nor possible) on that baby… |

Location: South of most, North of few | I think it's around 4 lbs. When they first made it, it started out at around 3, but they felt it was too light so they added weight to it. |
