Default Charvel ATX

As you may remember,I recently scored a Charvel ATX from E-BAY.A "solid body acoustic", it acuatly has a bureled maple top on a chamber mahogany body.24 frets,tele type shape,fishman electronics. This example is about a 7 out of 10.a few nicks and so forth,you have to look for them...
the neck is very fast and thin,the electronics sound great straight into the board,but i've been going into my XTlive,and have so far gotten 6 very differant,great sounding acoustic 6 strings,4 acoustic 12 strings, and a spot on Rick 12 sound.And the best added plus,several distiorted electric sounds. NO FEED BACK problems like a true acoustic guitar at high volumes!!!!
In this band,i play 90% acoustic,but on certian songs,like say,nickle cracks rock star,were it get hevay in the chours,it really adds to go to a crunch setting,even with a electric playing along.
Unplugged it has decent volume,maybe 3 times a unplugged electric,with has been a god sent recently(several hosp. stays this last month,and another week in that god awfull place next week!),so i can bring it and not disturb other pacentces,while remaining my sanity!
I'll post photos as so as i can get my camara working again...
bottom line,if you run across one,DON'T hesitate,get it!!
have a great holiday
