DC-580 CH Vintage Series : Love this guitar!

Have had it for a month now and cannot find the words..but I'll try. I originally bought this with the intention of having something to add variety to my home studio palette and was expecting a toy. Was very surprised out of the box how good it felt, intonation spot on, straight neck, etc. Then I plugged it in; not a trace of noise or hum! Felt almost too good to be true so I took it to my luthier friend, who too, could find nothing wrong other than the need for some minor nut work to fix a slight buzz on the A string at the 3rd and 4th frets. So far so good, but how would it stand up in live performance? At this price surely the pickups would be microphonic feedback machines? NOT! The guitar held it's own with a full band and a guy in the audience asked me after if I was playing a 'newer Gibson SG'? Really, really impressed. I plan now on collecting more Harley Bentons!
