That dark woody tone is what I am after, wish I could try it out. Still very very pleased with the 1923 Gibson Oval Hole White Face...it has it all, in every range. The neck is a little fat, its kinda bulky but man...in can sing. I tried a Duff recently and noticed its a bit easier to play that the white face, the one I had in my hands had a good tone, rich, especially in the mid-range. linda
