"i have played silvertones for years. waited, and read reviews on this thing for months till i found one. [there are 2 different"

Feature:
ummm, i have never used one of those bigsby tremolas. i don't know if i would... but i might put one on there.

Quality:
First off... in waiting a few months for one of these- i learned that there are actually two different models. they have the same name, but one is a lighter red stain [with a larger headstock having 2 lines of machine heads runnig parrelel]; and the one i got having a much darker red stain [with a much smaller headstock having 2 lines of machine heads nearly running into each other. [[ = or > ]]. It has a very very nice clear coat finish, thou it appears dark maroon unless it is in bright light. I am not experienced with the wiring in guitars like this, thou i have seen pickups on auction boards that have heavy wires with heavy shielding on them. This guitar has thin plastic coated wiring. Maybe a noise thing? thought i'd mention that- and why only a nine. ouch

Value:
by far. I have been payin bookoo for vintage acoustics. this thing is the bomb.

Desirability:
Its... slim and barebones. no fancy frills. nice nice deep red thou in the sun. over all- it will be on tv just like me. :)

Sound:
First, i have played only acoustic for 12 years. Mostly vintage silvertone. Hey i had to learn about adjusting the pickups after i got this thing. One of the pickup plate/things that goes around the pickups was backwords. It has a medium to medium/light acoustic sound when unplugged; which means it leans alittle more to the electric side [alittle smaller body then others] I run it through effects and it sounds awsome [well for my style]. By the way... The pickups are interchangable with gibsons etc. I don't see the need thou.

Support:
nope, but i want to still give this thing as close to an all around 10 as possible.

Overall:
Well, i might at sometime explore other pickups and wiring possibilties [but hey, this would be a good idea on any gitar]. cause i am not an expert. but if i do- i will buy more of these for the road. cause its a keeper and i am keepin it all the way baby!
