I screwed the bridge down on mine and filed the grooves in the 'saddle' slightly deeper, which helped when playing harder.

Trying to remember if the headstock was tilted on the one I used to have... Pretty sure it had the "D"-stamped tuners so might have been a different variant. Going to see if I can find some pictures...

Don't think the U2 I had did. And pretty sure a 59 DC they had at the school I worked at (the later ones with the weird wavy headstock) didn't either.
The acoustic kind of jangle comes through on lower gain. It also sounds good with fuzz!
As it's so quirky looking I may just hold on to it yet. I was going to replace it with a U1 reissue!
I had a later model of Convertible, the current run, and fairly sure the headstock didn't tilt back, much like the 59 stock reissue.
The model I have now, I could be mistaken, but the neck feels a bit chunkier, but I could be wrong.
I actually meant the purely unplugged acoustic sound, though I remember it feeling very alive when plugged in. I think I only ever played it in a rehearsal once, sadly. It was a long time ago now!
