hi Ian. I have heard of the F1s. I look for tone, durability and light weight in a reso. I could care less about tradition. If I cared about that, I wouldn't be playing in dropped D since very few old blues guys used it..Given a choice between a 25lb. national and this much lighter reso that also has more volume- no contest.
By the way, how is the new line of dropped D
slides comming? Do you have a price for them yet?
