Mike Vidallier's two main acoustics are this '09 Raines Master Series Gypsy Jazz with an arched top and 3-piece neck. He says, "Plays like a dream and cuts through the mix very nicely." The Takamine is a "lawsuit model" purchased by his wife for their first anniversary in 1978. He says, "It's a great copy of a D-28 and has fooled many over the years with appearance and tone. It's my go-to acoustic and the only one I would never part with."
