All of you - thank you for serving our country! Welcome home, Fingerpickin.

I played a CA OX recently, and it played/sounded great.

As people have already said, these are not cheap, but CA seems fit for the desert. The Epiphone Masterbilt sounds to be an excellent choice as well.

This one needs to go to Mythbusters. I want to see 'em cut it and play it while it's taped together. I'll donate an old Harmony or such for comparison purposes.

Thanks for that first vid, Andy. That's so funny... I'll be someone puts together a stage act around it soon. Bolo???

Here's a vid of Acoustic Guitar Mag's Teja Gerkin reviewing the little travel guitar, in case anyone wants to hear what it sounds like:

Again, I don't have a financial stake (or steak) in this, just own one.

Amen to that. It is an honor to serve an appreciative country. I grieve for our Viet Nam vets (my brothers). It is bittersweet to think that I'm a better person to my country now than more than 30 years ago. What is the Planet Waves soundhole system? I might need one.

Mahalo bradda, I'm going to be in the International Zone in Baghdad (Riverview condos). Well I've already settled for the Little Martin in Koa. Since I've received it I can seem to put it down. I used to become very impatient waiting for my computer to boot up. Now I have my Punahele next to the computer and I forget about the computer. This baby rings! We need the civilians for support. It's a team effort, the sooner we grasp that concept the better off we will be as a nation.
