Grew a little tired of the sound

This guitar feels right. Tuning is a hassle (but it's a 12 and that goes with the territory) The CR Baggs electronics are great - through an amp it sounds awesome. Volume is good. Finish is outstanding (mine is black with cutaway, now discontinued apparently). Got it second hand at a good price. I haven't given up on it yet - will be trying some different strings - but after I played the Washburn I gave my son I realised that this guitar has some sonic limitations I wasn't previously aware of - it sounded at little too metallic when not played through an amp. Update - after changing the strings it still has the same limitations. May try some lighter gauge ones as with the current set it has become rather hard to play, as the action is rather high. It does at least have a truss rod.
