    Hey folks. Here is a video demo of my brand new Duff A5. It is loud and focused. Really exited to see how it grows. Here is a video of me fooling around on it.

    Hey Josh - You can expect your new Duff to open up - especially in the mid-range - which will balance out the bottom end and make overall more dynamic. Maybe it will even seem louder. Paul indicated mine would do that and it definitely has. Mine is #200 and is coming up on two years now. I am thrilled with it and I have played/owned a lot of nice mandos. You should bring it to Compton's Monroe camp in September. You'll see lots of well used Duffs and Paul himself is usually there.

    Great sounding and looking A5. The Duffs I played at Carter's were outstanding, just as yours is. Enjoy your new baby.

    JWW,

    Sounds nice, but have you compared it to a Weber, Flatiron, Pava, Stiver, Red Diamond, or Ellis? Kind of like dating, don't want to be sold on the very first one.

    btw, can I have 1st refusal if you break up with it?
