I love the playability of the Juniper Live Rubber Bridge, the pickup, and the look and size of the guitar. Not ever having played a rubber bridge guitar before, I took a chance on the Juniper, but I miss the sustain and the full sound afforded by a typical bridge with a bone saddle. It's a great guitar especially at that price, but just not my cup of tea. I intend to exchange the Juniper live for another Orangewood.
