"Nothing Compares"
A retirement present to myself. Sounded so good as a beginner, it has inspired me to keep practicing and learning, and has greatly influenced my life these days. Sounds so rich with great volume, even With xtra lite strings, which are a must for me. I have other nice guitars, but they suffer in comparison.
