Dewy and Ken validated what I already suspected. Tut Taylor setup huh?
Very cool. I think I'll leave my Hot Rodded Regal the way it is. I'm
surprised that she is "maturing" and really starting to open up. I
wouldn't have thought that of an off the shelf Regal RD-45. I'm almost
certain part of it is me becoming more comfortable with the Reso and my
technique is improving but it still is a surprise to hear her become more
rich and open like that.
Regardless. Santa is arriving this afternoon on a UPS truck with a new
Gibson F-60S. I am needless to say, all atwitter. :-))
