Location: Lafayette, Louisiana | The latest Musician's Friend catalog has the new version of the Al DiMeola Custom Legend in it. The new guitar has the OP-Pro preamp, and it comes in black or natural finish. A natural one would be beautiful. Great looking guitar, deep bowl, cutaway. :D :D :D :D |

Location: Boise Idaho | Saaaweeeeeet!!! I've been checking this one out on their WEB site for the past few weeks and the Natural finish was exactly what I had in mind... Any of you lucky ones that made the tour get a chance to see one of these up close and personal??? |

Location: Converse, Texas | I got to play the new Al DiMeola at the factory tour SAWEEEEET! BUT ... it has the Op Pro preamp, which doesn't have the notch. Other than that, it's a sweet guitar. I'd have to go for the black finish! :cool: |

Location: Boise Idaho | Well, MF has these in stock now for $1549.99. My trigger finger is getting that same old itchy feeling... I do have a question though... Besides the deep bowl and the OP Pro. What are the other enhancements that make this piece worth the extra $200 over a regular CL? How many are being produced? |

Location: Boise Idaho | I think the natural finish is what I need. My other 2 Legends are Black and I believe it's time for some diversity... :rolleyes:
The Black is very tempting though... |

Location: Converse, Texas | There are subtle differences in the rosette abalone inlays... The Op Pro would be the reason I wouldn't get it. That preamp doesn't have the notch, which I'm a great fan of. |
