Hello David;

 I see in LOA level 3 we'll be exploring blues chromatic basics, and I have been looking at the CX-12 and the 270 Deluxe which are both nearly the same in price at RR's. Would one be preferable as a first chromatic?

Thanks,

Greg

Hey Greg. No, They're both

Hey Greg. No, They're both very cool. The CX-12 is darker and the Deluxe is brighter. I prefer the brighter one, since my tone tends to be dark (it's easier for the audience to hear me).
