i actually dropped in and had a jam on it yesterday and bumped into a really competent guitarist i know. didnt plug it in at all but we came to the conclusion after a few minutes handling that it had a real chop shop feel to it, you can see where the scratchplate meets the bridge in the pic, theres a lot of play in the fit. that is still the asking price but i wouldnt pay it. the tanglewood would be a better bet, me mate who plays acoustic blues stuff was getting awfully tempted by it. ended up buying an FAB delay meself. it works and all but has a slightly bassy colour to it.
If it's a bassy colour to the repeats it's because it's an analogue vintage voiced digital delay.
