Johnson MA-550 OM
Looking at buying a slightly used one of these for around $400 - anyone else played a recent one (afaik they've been out since around 2000 with a couple changes over time)? Opinions before I drive 4 hours to see it? Like the two point design, and I might be falling for the marketing ploy of deeper body = deeper tone. The current blurbs on the web says solid spruce top and then just "flamed maple" body - would that mean the body is maple laminate? I'm not sure I care at this price point.
Looked at a used Trinity short scale and didn't like it - don't know if it was setup or strings, but it sounded tinny more than jangly.

Re: Johnson MA-550 OM
I have, and am very happy with my TM-325. The more traditional looking TC OM. When I was first looking I dug the looks of the 550 but it just got so many negative reviews. I'm glad I went all solid.
