Thanks again buddy!

There is a 900 (maple body) available to try locally. On a a guitar that is so oriented as an amplified guitar, would the more expensive rosewood 1200 really be any different?

Great taste!
I have to hear more Johnny Smith ... got a bit discouraged to learn any by
those (beautiful) finger stretches on Moonlight in Vermont.
Btw, i'm french and i heard this many times as a kid. I just didn't click right away that it
was Debussy, just not on the piano. Embarassment ... lol
And i thought it sounded like "La Cheminée du Roi René" by Darius Milhaud ! (you're fired ! )

Thanks buddy!
You know when you buy a new P.C., there is music downloaded onto it sometimes. That tune was one of the downloaded tunes. In Debussy form too. I listened to it a bunch of times and loved the melody. Then I heard Johnny do it so I jumped on it.
It blows me away that now in my musical life, I play pieces by DeBussy, Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Mercer, Van Huesen and Charmichael - a lot of them made special by Johnny Smith and Joe Pass. When I am tired of all the arrangements I play and I am ready to forget them, my plan is learn Rhapsody in Blue on the Guitar. I am still a ways off. But that's in my bucket. That tune is so complex, it will push everything else I know right out of the back of my head.
Thanks again. JD
Woody, I sold my 900 to Goldenwave77 here on this site. You may want to reach out to him and see how he is getting along with it. A while back he told me he really likes it.

It's cheaper, too ;-) When I practice at home or if I need a really good "classical" tone for a recording I use a handmade nylonstring by a master luthier - no compromises.
