Hi
thanks for all the advice. i have decided not to go with it - i really thought i was being petty as i love everything about it, the action, the sound, the pick-ups, the looks (except for the plastic part), and the price. just the way the rounded back makes it sit on my lap, or even hang from its strap, i found to be awkward. i was told i was being petty, & that id soon get used to it etc, - but i see others feel the same way, so i think perhaps im not just being petty. ron
