This guitar is the real deal. I thought my BR-180 had great tone, but this thing is insane! I can feel it in my chest and gut when I play- never could really get that on the BR. This box rattles your innards. I really understand what people meant when they said the stanford had a much more "refined" tone than the Blueridges. I nail a D chord and it growls for about 10 seconds. Overtones all over the neck. I won't be able to keep my hands off it after I get it setup properly- action is a bit high- nut slots are cut too deep. No big deal there. I am very happy with the PSD-28.

after you've had more time to play it, Carson. It will really grow on you...... OK, I'll shut up already.

I am very glad, though not at all surprised, that you're happy with the guitar. It will be missed.
The funds from the sale, however, have allowed me to pay back my "draw" on the household funds and the funds manager is pleased, which means I too am happy now .
Enjoy! Tom

Played mine last night. Still blows me away. It's got some kind of Soul I can't put into words. This guitar really resonates-very grounded. Tough to
put down once you pick it up.

I don't know about the PSOM10, but my PSOM21 is just superb. And if I recall correctly, Mike Wong was at least as impressed with his PSOM21 as with his
PSRD28, so I think that generalization is not at all accurate.

I havent seen many PSOM-10s going up for sale anywhere (not that there are a great deal of them out there in the US market) or heard much for negative feedback on that model. I'm sure however that as with Martin and other bigger names you will find an occassional "dud" in the mix unfortunately...... Ryan

I sanded the saddle down on the PSD-28 tonight and adjusted the truss rod about 1 1/2 turns. The guitar feels like it plays itself. No buzz anywhere- and I
really dig in with a heavy pick. Capo'd frets 1 through 5-no buzz. Lowered the action almost 3/16 of an inch at the 12th fret overall. What a difference!
I owe all of the Stanford owners here a big thank you. My Blueridge will be lonely. haha

Carson wrote: Glad you like it, Carson. The PSD-28 is phenomenal! It's so much guitar the price....... No regrets on buying any of my 3 Stanfords. You can drive these things hard. The dreads don't break up under heavy strumming. My 28 has sort-of high action at the moment and could use some adjustments and tweaking as well.
