I just sold several guitars and had GAS for one high quality guitar. After toying with the idea of springing for an R9, I decided to keep an eye out for an LS-320. I saw a couple on ebay, but didn't like the reddish tops. Then I ran across a 2003 in an ebay store that had what looked like a killer top. After a bit of negotiations on the price, I pulled the trigger (if buckwild had posted his a week earlier, I would not have hesitated). It arrived yesterday. It plays easier than any guitar I've ever owned. I'm not real good at describing tone, but it has a warmth and depth that I've never experienced with any of my set-neck guitars. I generally find bridge pickups to be brittle and generally stay in the middle or neck positions. Not on this one, though. All three positions sound great, clean or overdriven. And the top, well, let's just say that the pictures do not do it justice. The weight is perfect between 8.25 & 8.5 lbs.
