Location: Germany, where delicious wine is growing (Rheinh) | So here Comes the first Report about her in comparison with some of my guitars. This guitar was not played very often by Dave so it sounds a bit "tight" in comparison to those which are older and played really often.
We (my friend Dieter and I) played her, the 1768 Book-Elite, 2009C, 2010C and Dieter's 2007C. All guitars were strung with 11er Elixier-Phos-Bronce, except the 2009C has 80/20 Polyweb. So first our opinion in gereral: The guitar is not very loud and has a very bright and clear voice, less bass of all here but very nice balanced in sustain. The 2007C and 2010C are nearly identical in Sound. We both played them not looking at the Player and we both can't say exactely what guitar was played. They both are sounding fantastic: hughe clear Sound, very bright but also with much bass. The "Book" was played very often and is very "open". The Sound is more loud and not as bright but in comparison to all in the middle. So the 2009 has the darkest voice and more mellowness, beside of the CL-Slothead less loudness.
My favs in numbers are: 2010C, 2007C, CL-Sh, Book, 2009C
Dieter's choice: CL-Sh, 2010C, 2007C, 2009C, Book
and my girlfriends choice: Book, 2009C, 2007C, CL-Sh, 2010C.
You see, everybody has his own opinion what is sounding best, but if you like very bright Sound, you will not go wrong with her. And when she has opend up after while of playing, she will become better.
If anybody wants more Information or with other guitars I own, please feel free to ask me

Location: Germany, where delicious wine is growing (Rheinh) | I've a lot of 1 3/4" necks (FD14,Ute, 2009C,1680, OFC-1 and now this one), so it's nothing new for me. I decided for me only to buy guitars with that nutwidth, because I can Play them best. The string spacing is only a Little bit more than regular, but enough for "cleaner" playing for me. And it's not a big Change to 1 11/16".I love These nutwidth.
