I am liking it, so far. It gives me the softer tone that the Yellowstone didn't. By changing to thinner picks, I still can get that Blue Grass "bite" out of it.
I've got an AF, an FF, and a AO, but none of them are as nice as the Vintage. I am finding that the amount of sound that comes back to me above the instrument seems greater. I am hearing mistakes that I did not catch before.
