NGD Martin SC10E Sapele
It's actually 2 weeks old...I needed a backup to my Rainsong CH-OM, so I went out shopping and played a spruce topped SC10E and really liked it, filed it away to think about for a week. When I went to play the spruce topped one again, it had just come out in an all Sapele version. Played it, liked it even more than the spruce topped version and bought it. I just love the neck on this thing, the sapele is very alive sounding for a normally warm sounding wood. I've gigged it 4 times already, it is such a comfortable guitar, it plays amazing, but the Sonitone has to go.

Nice looking guitar, but yes, the Sonotone has to go. What will you replace it with?

Congrats on the pretty guitar!
I have heard some live demos of the Sonitone pickup system, and I, too, didn't think it was all that impressive. You've got lots of terrific alternatives. Have fun with this new guitar! - Glenn

Thanks a lot lowrider and Glenn.
Lowrider, I'm deciding between a Baggs Element (I've had good success with it in my Rainsong) and the HiFi. I'm really on the fence...

Jack I tried the HiFi, doesn't completely fit on the bridge plate. Shame as I would've liked to have heard it. Baggs said it has to be completely on the plate, unlike the the tru mic.
I went with the Baggs Element VTC. I'm very satisifed with it. I know a lot of people don't like the Element, but I do, it just works for my gigs.

Yes I did add the pickguard. Bought an inexpensive one from GC and cut it to fit as best as I could.

OK thanks. Any trouble getting it to stick to that satin finish?

No issue whatsoever, stuck right to it and hasn't moved.
Here's the one i used. You have to just finagle it enough so it fits to the circumference. It's not perfect, but it's close. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Proline...92606661781.gc
