Wow, cool guitar. I wish I could find one around Dallas,Tx I would love to plug it in. You might not need electronics now man, but eventually they come in handy.. My only concern is how will the Spider age? I have a few old Yamahas, FG335 and FG365 and they really are nice guitars 20 years down the line. For my 2 cents those yamaha acoustics are a real bargain, but imagine the look on your friends faces when they see that Spider. I am not a genius when it comes to guitars like these other guys here, but sound is everything in a guitar, along with feel. Later man good luck
