I LIKE THE KINGMAN A LOT. i PLAY IN A BLUEGRASS/GOSPEL BAND AND I RECENTLY SWITCHED FROM AN ACOUSTIC UPRIGHT TO AN ELECTRIC UPRIGHT (NS NXT 4 STRING) AND PLAN TO USE THE KINGMAN FOR GIGS FOR WHICH WE DON'T NEED AMPLIFICATION. I HAVEN'T USED IT YET FOR A GIG, BUT I HAVE PRACTICED WITH IT. IT MAY BE A LITTLE SHORT ON VOLUME, BUT I WILL PROBABLY USE A PICK IN THOSE INSTANCES.

Musical Style:

I HAVE PLAYED BLUEGRASS/GOSPEL FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS - BEFORE THAT I PLAYED DIXIELAND AND COUNTRY. I AM CURRENTLY IN A BAND THAT
