A.J.,
I would love for you to tell me exactly how you get the Strat sound you like so much. I will try it!
I do like the light touch of the Pa80, much better than the semi-weighted or full piano touch. But then I was never a piano player.
I like the acoustic guitars and the Club guitars on the PA80, but haven't found a Country type electric that I'm really happy with.
