Thanks for posting that, Craig! I'm a big fan of Umphrey's and Jake's playing in particular---a lot of skill and range. Though I was a bit disappointed when I saw them perform that he WASN'T playing his S-500. I really wanted to see/hear him put it through its paces live. He and co-guitarist Brendan did a workshop at the Musician's Institute in 2009 in which they explained (among other things) how they signal each other on stage, and Jake raved about his G&Ls in that video.
