    I just picked one of these up. I wasn't going to play out with it until I got it fully dialed in, but I pluged it in during soundcheck and that was it. All the tones I have been attempting were right there under my fingers. It sits perfectly in the mix. Plays wonerfully, Bigsby is very good, tuning is stable. Did I mention how great it sounds?

Romans 10: 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

    Wonderful tribute, Christian! This gave me chills. I too am a huge Carpenters fan and I love how you've covered one of their lesser known songs here. Keep them coming! I'll watch and 'like" every single one. (My favorite Carpenters songs are "Happy" & "And When He Smiles". Oh and "Those Good Old Dreams")
