Update to this OP. I decided to go with the Traditional Cutaway and F-Hole on the Mavis.No Volume and Tone Controls either,as I am will be playing it more Unplugged,and just use the knobs on my Amp to control those tones from there when needed.
Prompt communication from Matt as well.Much appreciated!
Have a great Memorial Day weekend TAC Family,and please pause and remember about what this Holiday signifies.

I agree,have used Sweetwater for 3 guitar purchases as well.Also numerous smaller gear buys.
Always arrive promptly and well packed.My Sales Engineer always follows up on the sale which is much appreciated.
Last guitar I bought from them was a Epiphone LP Standard Slash Model.Inspired By Gibson. Must have been from the Norlin Era 🙂
My guitar tech got it straightened out without sending it back. The Set Up on that one left much to be desired.Nut clean up and general action lowering all around to make it right.He is really attentive to details and echoed my thoughts.
Other than that,I would use them again and a good buying experience.

@Rando I had one of those weeks myself.Always feels great to get back to the guitar and your more normal fun routine!!!

@misterbee Sorry to hear that. I will still wear my Acoustic Tuesday G4V Sweatshirt proudly,it has a few days left here in the Midwest.
I was hoping to hear a more positive report,but thanks for your efforts!!!

Thanks John,appreciate the kind words. Looking forward to all of this during the build process!!!

Thanks,have to figure out how I want it built.Want the cutaway for sure,but am considering the f hole option as opposed to that aged Pickguard, which looks really nice.
Will be playing it more Unplugged like Tony says he does.Have to research that some more as to how I want to configure it.
Any suggestions on that from anybody that owns or has played a Mavis would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

You are welcome,that is a good guitar at that price point. Elderly Instruments would be my choice to get one,it will be set up right and play well out of the box.
That is very important with this lower line gear especially.

I had a Gretsch G9200 Boxcar,which is a quality Reso for about $400 USD.Laminated Mahogany and good build quality,played and sounded great for being entry level.
I sold it about a year ago.I agree,the Mule guitars are awesome.Just have to save some more also 🙂

Bumping this post,sure hope you heard something here!

I contributed a guitar I won here to GFV back in the old days with the Guitar Raffle.
Never heard back anything as to where it went.Quite disappointing.
I am sure a Vet somewhere is enjoying that guitar.A follow up would have been much appreciated!!!

Good one,thanks for posting this. I recall seeing this back in the early days here.

I recently bought a SC-10E and I really like it.It is a radical departure for Martin.Neck is really thin with a low action that plays more like a ‘Strat than a D-18 🙂
Sounds great plugged in or unplugged as well. Very crisp highs and mids, not much bottom end but that was to be expected with the Cutaway and completely new body design.
I actually prefer the Satin finish to the more expensive SC-13E. It looks really nice to me without the added bling.
This is a great guitar and a good value!!!

NGD days are always great. Awaiting one as well. Epiphone Les Paul Slash Appetite Burst to make me happy on the Electric side of the equation 🙂

Good advice here, let the guitar acclimate to the new climate for at least 24 Hours before opening it to its new environment.
