Well I will have to sell some stuff. I had been doing pretty good with the one out one in rule and then went a little crazy (never heard that before I am sure LOL) so a NGD may not happen right now.
I have a Douglas WNO640 and it plays great. I am a fan of Rondo guitars and their customer service is a classs act.
fender62custom - Why would I want a 5x guitar? Two different beasts, one is a thin body semi and the other is a moderate thickness full hollow and there is the venetian versus florentine cut, but I understand your preference.

Interesting axe. About 3/4" thicker than the N model.

I have an "N" as well. With you, I think that makes four of us I've seen on here. This looks real nice in white. I would want to play it first, though.

The Douglas should have (1-11/16" at nut) a fairly chunky neck. Not baseball bat but substantial. I personally like the Jumbo Frets. You won't be able to try one out first because they are only available on line.
I would have preferred to have an N without the tension bar but it certainly is not a deal breaker in my book.

You gotta try a 6122-1959 sometime. The frets are chunky, the neck is just right and the sound is to die for.

The "Yum" part disqualified Bowie.  That having been said, he did give SRV his big break.
