Unexpected NGD

[Ascension]

Was in a local shop a couple days ago and pulled an old Carvin Cobalt acoustic off the wall out of curiosity. Had played several of the Cobalt's over the years and was underwhelmed. This one was different it was a solid black big JUMBO Mark Wills sig. Was priced at about half of what I found them selling for on line so today it came home with me. These were imports this one is 2001 or 2 built by Cort in South Korea. The MW guitars were unique in they were solid maple back and sides maple neck with a solid sitka spruce top. Guitar plays like a dream and is an absolute cannon! Sounded and played better than my last Taylor. Have always loved the sound of a good maple body and neck Jumbo like the old Guild Jumbos. First decent acoustic I have owned in a while.
Quick photo with my phone has the Fishman Matrix system and sounds fantastic through a good acoustic amp.

It's a great looking Jumbo, and if you got a "can't miss this" deal, all the better. I'm sure it plays great, Corts from Korea are amazing regarding quality and value. Congrats.

Never played a maple sides back and neck before. Bet it blasts.
I'm more of a Dreadnaught guy, but a sitka spruce top can't sound bad in any shape acoustic, I'd think.
