Thanks for the review, Stuco. I have the little brother of your D-170, the T-160 and my impressions generally mirror yours.

My review of the T-160 is here: http://www.tdpri.com/forum/acoustic-...-160-pics.html

One detail of the construction of these guitars has recently come to my attention and it's that they use a different method of attaching the neck that will require major surgery for a neck reset should it become necessary. I'm not sure that this is the case, but feel that it's important to realize that it may be. I'm not that worried about this possibility in a guitar in this price range and feel that the Silver Creeks are real bargains.

You can find a discussion of the neck attachment here: http://theunofficialblueridgeguitarf...60.html?page=3

By the way, if you've ordered from MF lately, they're having a "secret sale" and have a flyer in with your order that you can get these for $249.

Thanks again for the thorough review.
