Very cool looking and sounding git. Getting a good acoustic sound can be difficult but you did it here.

LOL Unc! I forgot the lyrics...and the chords...  and the rhythm of that tune, so I just made this up, But Merle's is a classic! 

Yes, this is all acoustic. I know you have mentioned about bridge placement and this one is 4 inches from the bottom. These Padron boxes do ring nicely and I was pleased with the loudness. I had good luck with one of my 4 string Padron's too. :)

Just kidding on the Merle song thing.  Hey, that was acoustic?   Even better.  Those Padron boxes are among the best and you must have maximized it.

Beautiful guitar and nice f holes.  Cool background for the pic.  Hey good sounding guitar, riffs and playing, but it really doesn't sound much like Merle Haggard's song  Rambling Fever.   Keep working on it, brother.  ;)

Thanks guys! Andries, they are all wound strings and new and maybe from playing this three string more with the pads of my fingers instead of the tips which are more calloused?

I really like rambling, this is good rambling! Sounds great, F holes and all put out a strong, but pleasant tone! Another fine addition to your collection Derek!
