I use my GC on virtually every gig I play. It’s my all-time favorite guitar, but two things I don’t dig are that it’s not a double cut away and that it’s pretty heavy (especially for 4 hour gigs).
I’m thinking of buying another and modding the body thusly:
1. Cut away a section from the upper bout for thumb reach, and possibly even add some “horn” length to the upper bout.
2. Replace top with a nice quilt slab
3. Reduce body mass and weight with either more chambering or edge-rounding or circumference reduction (body slimming). The best approach would be determined once the top is off.
Comments or suggestions?
