I have one of the new generation. A long neck soprano. It's solid acacia and very beautiful wood. It's rather heavy, specially the neck. I just don't like the light banjo like sound it has. I don't know if this is a characteristics of acacia since I don't have another acacia. I've tried with different strings. Right now it has Worth browns, and it's better for my taste. Need to keep trying strings to see if there's a magic combination, but for the time being, as much as I'd like to bond to it, I'm still struggling to like it. Other than that, it' OK
