I just bought a new Breedlove, and as such, I haven't picked up the Takamine since. It's the 540C, so it has the NEX body shape, which is really comfortable. The preamp is the TK4NT, which has a tuner built in and has a lot of options for tuning the sound. It's a cherry sunburst on flamed maple, and it looks really cool, it just doesn't sound close to my Breedlove.

My Contribution to the forum (Rio/JB Vibrato content)
Here are a couple of clips I threw down after reading the vibrato thread. I think vibrato is extremely important, especially when playing blues. It can and should be practiced. The quot;B.B. Kingquot; style vibrato is very fast, and I've heard him go from a narrow to a wider vibrato. He is the master of this technique. Clapton is known for his slow (slowhand), wide vibrato. Listen to his early stuff. In the first clip, I show how I practice vibrato. The first lick is stolen straight from Hendrix, and is played in the 12th fret minor pent. quot;boxquot; position. I try to bend the D note on the B string, 15th fret, up a whole step to E, and then shake it. I have three fingers on the string.

Bare Knuckle Miracle Man/Irish Tour ... initial impressions
This isn't my official review of the new pups I installed into my TOC guitar (The Twilight Odyssey Custom), but here are my initial impressions I just got from wailing on the guitar for a good 10 minutes after I got the bridge level and the strings to pitch. Just writing this now to document my first impressions while they are still fresh in my mind, and see if the differ after I've lived with the pups for a bit, and the guitar has 'settled' a little more.
