Firstly, I've been playing professionally my whole life. I started in 1966 and have had many acoustic guitars. I got the Ava Sunburst Live because I was looking for a slot head with 14 frets to the neck. This guitar is beautiful. I like the satin finish. The neck is 1 3/4'" , but to me it doesn't feel like it. Maybe it's the string spacing. When it arrived, the action was a little high, so I lowered it by sanding the saddle. No problem. I changed the strings to Elixer custom lights, which I use on all my guitars. This changed the balance of the strings when plugged in. Messed with that a couple of weeks. Fixed that again with saddle adjustments. Now its balanced with great action, I play mostly finger style and this guitar is so comfortable to play. It's light and the size is just right. Now I;m ready to bring it on a gig. I'll let you know how it goes!
