re: Anybody have experience with the Michael Kelly guitars? I've never even come across one.

The Hybrid that I linked, seems like it may be able to do similar things to the Fender acoustasonic telly. I really like those, but it's just more money than I want to spend right now.
There's a Sam Ash store over at Atlanta that carries the Kelly guitars , which is a couple of hours from me. I might go try one out.
