    Does a free guitar sound better than one you paid for? I think it must! Congratulations!

    Thanks @Moonhare for asking the question and to everyone who gave such great info. I have 6 acoustics and always wondered if it is common for your right arm to be sore after playing a while. I just realized they are all dreads or dread cutaway sized. A smaller size might make a difference.

    Congratulations on your Tac anniversary. I am a 6 month newbie still trying to figure out if I will ever get any better so I look to stories like yours for inspiration.

    One thing I will say is proper setup is critical for barre chords. I have two identical guitars, one of which I had setup. The difference in playing barre chords on them is night and day.

    I still like it. It might be a little higher pitched than some of my other guitars but not overly so. It is the prettiest guitar I own and very playable. It’s also the first guitar I bought that didn’t have to go to my guitar guy to have the string height lowered.

    I ordered an Epiphone Hummingbird in their exclusive Trans Ebony finish. I had heard nothing but good things about Sweetwater so was surprised about the lack of communication.

    I added the bone nut because it is supposed to have a mellower sound and greater sustain. TUSQ nuts are more consistent but the sound can be thinner. I have guitars with both but the higher end ones always have a bone nut.
