Hi Rick,
I Play mine often until recently every day. I vacillate between my Strats and my Gadow. Humbuckers don't quack

(Iknow Ryan the Montery does

. ) I practice every day usually on something we're doing at Church or some song I've heard that got stuck in my head.
I get lots of comments on the guitar from other players at Church and elsewhere I've gigged with it. I was at a rehearsal a couple of weeks ago and let one of our other guitarists play it and he was most impressed by its sound. I had to wrench it from his hands...
When I'm not playing her she's on a stand by the bed plugged into a little practice amp just in case...
