Ah the Dragonfly! My first one was fretted and buzzed like an angry insect. Otherwise, quality seemed good. The finish was more ôteaö stained than natural, compared to the headstock which was pure natural. I sent it back to exchange for a fretless version. Music 123 was ace about it, I had credit less than 2 days after they received it. The fretless finally arrived, and it is beautiful, purely natural no tea stain. It seemed pretty well set up, but I gave it a little more relief, and put a new bridge saddle in which marginally raised the action on e and g. I put Addario chromes flats on it, and it sounds great, is fun to play and just gorgeous. I have never seen a more beautiful guitar. I just love quilted maple natural gloss and that awesome inlay. Generally excellent workmanship, the inlay is smooth and beautiful. I really like the tone unplugged. Plugged in sounds decent too, but I didn't buy it to plug it in...thatÆs what my Thunderbird is for! The more I play it, the better it sounds. You can really pluck the strings hard and it produces a clean tone with almost no buzz! You only have to back off a little from full power pluck, and you get totally clean gorgeous tone. There are no dead spots, or anything like that. I love it. I did discover the other day, at the back of the bridge at each far corner, each corner is coming up like a micromilimeter! I hope it doesn't keep going. I will do everything I can to get that stopped in tracks, cause this is one awesome bass! I also have an ovation four string, to which this has similar tone... And then thereÆs the chief of the collection, the THUNDERCHIEF, which is boomier and less midrange than both others, and totally untouchable for campfire sound and volume. ItÆs just bigger. But don't get me wrong - the Dragonfly tone is still great, and plenty bassy; I like it for a change to a little more midrange. ItÆs a lot of fun slipping' and slidin' up and down the neck. It could hold it's own at any campfire jam. Verdict? This is one absolutely gorgeous guitar; sounds awesome and is fun to play. What an awesome design and concept, and nobody else I know does it. (Especially for the price!) The workmanship seems pretty good, but my feeling is that these MK ôspecial limited additionsö are a little hit or miss. I think we could expect a little more QC for the price, but I'm just glad I got lucky enough to be able to keep the second (no pun intended) one. ItÆs a keeper.

I played several acoustic basses and bought the Dragonfly fretless. Best when amped, but the acoustic quality is good especially when I don't play open strings which are very bright and brassy. the Fishman preamp has very good EQ and I run the sound into my home stereo! It is a well made instrument and I am in love with it. I am a classical guitarist and have found the move to the longer fretless fingerboard not much of a problem. I highly recommend this guitar. I am having a great time with it.
