Congratulations with the arrival of your beautiful guitar, Daddy! I agree - these JTV guitars are just gorgeous and the JTV59 model looks divine with all these colourful details, the shape and design. It looks timeless and classic and I am sure that it also sounds so! I'm so happy that you like it and that you are enjoying it!

May I ask what DAW do you use and what soundcard or a mixing console going into DAW? I'm sure it sounds beautiful! Speaking of the palm mutting, I have seen few Youtube examples with the 1.9 Firmware update and I didn't hear, see or feel that there was anything wrong with it. I was told that I have a very light and specific palm mute style and your words give me even more hope that I'll be ok with it once I get my JTV89 or JTV89F. 35+ years! My respect!!!

Ahh, could you, please, bless us with the recording of Kashmir with sitar on steroids or those gorgeous slide jams? I want to experience the OMG moment too! If and when possible, of course!

Congratulations again with your guitar and I'm wishing you hours and hours of happy playing! Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience, DaddyV!
