My Brüko is beautiful. (You've seen pics of this instrument recently, so I won't take up your bandwidth.)

It is as light as a feather.

The soundboard is very thin and it positively dances as I play. This is an advantage of solid tops -- laminated tops are full of vibration-dampening glue.

The finish is so silky-smooth that it's hard to actually grab hold of the instrument by the neck to pick it up. OK, I am exaggerating a little, but it really is very smooth.

The neck profile is a little chunkier than I am used to, but it fits nicely in my hand.

I don't like the supplied strings, so I will be replacing them (probably with CFCs -- I like the tension), but otherwise this little thing is simply perfect.

I am in love. I want more.
 
Wohooooooooo! We should start a club, make the Americans jealous of us for a change.
 
Pics or it didn't happen! ;)
Regards,
