you may be right. I took a second listen to his sound clips. no bends at all. Not that big a deal to me since with the heavy strings I use, i don't bend much on my
slide setup so it would fit my style of playing. I think I would still like it for fingerstyle. I have other guitars for big bends. I don't expect one guitar to excel at all things. I guess I really should have said this is a good guitar for me rather than in general. Thanks for pointing that out.
