  1. Congratulations! (I have the same guitar and a very similar wife)
  2. Despite the controversy, I think it is fair to say that ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL, you can expect a solid spruce top to be more resonant and "open sounding" than the equivalent laminate. This is of course a generalization, but I believe a reasonable one. The solid top should also improve with age as it "opens up" to a degree greater than laminate. I have a super cheap all mahogany laminate that sounds great and comparable to most solid topped guitars in terms of its resonance. On the other hand, my own experience (including owning a couple all laminate Yamahas) is that most laminate guitars TEND to sound a little more compressesed and "nasally" in comparison to solid topped guitars. Again--all generalizations, but you have to start with some point of reference, right?
  3. I have the same Dunlop device, but on some guitars, there is not enough room on the jack for both the strap and the lock. I recently bought a couple of these and they work great in such cases: http://www.tapastring.com/strapkeeper0605.htm OOPS--I see melandy beat me to it!
