Re: Just strung up my EIR\Sitka D28ish guitar.
It sounds good, like a dread, loud. Strong bass. I have it strung with Martin mediums, so it is really loud with my nails or a pick. I still need to do a real setup. Both the saddle and the nut need to be finished, but it is one of my better sounding guitars for the first strum.

It's perfect John! I really like those tuners.

Super awesome! I always put lights on my dreds, I should try some mediums I suppose

John - great looking guitar - the walnut rosette ring is a very nice touch.
