Got a Iida 5+1, with a bluegrass resonator and a flange. Love it. I tried some Clawhammer on it too.
This extra string is changing my life !

Something about this comes together so well, it's a thrill just to sit down and play. Many has been the time I woke up at 4am, grabbed that Vega, or the Buckbee, and set up a chair in the corner of the garage. That will get you 3 hours of undisturbed playing time.
