Hi all! I am a guitarist focusing on playing postwar blues. This mostly means Delta (Fred McDowell), Chicago (Muddy Waters), Memphis (Howlin' Wolf) and some West Coast Blues (T-Bone Walker).

These are overall pretty good pick, however I only use the thumb pick. Said piece does have a tendency to start splitting in half after a while, but only after a lot of use.
I recently acquired this in July/August. It is one of the best sounding guitars I own. The DeArmond Rhythm Chief 1000 reproductions are perfect for early Chicago and Memphis style blues. The neck will take some getting used to if you've only ever played slim-tapered necked guitars like I did. Sounds good acoustically.
Surprisingly, it stays in tune the best of all my guitars. It has a great sound that helps fill the void in my electrics.
