On Wall Street they call it "Inside Trading" but around here it more like a pre garage sale rummage.

That really has nothing to do with what I have referenced.

That bowl sounds the same as the 08 Collectors, which is a beaut. I don't think SWMBO loves me THAT much though, I've been luckier than I could hope for over the last 6 months and don't want to push my luck. |

U681
U681-12
Koa 12 fret
Koa 14 fret
Adamas 47 Reissue
Adamas OFC guitar
Adamas 2008 Collectors
Not to mention all the customs (and even the Takamines). I'm sure if this guitar happens that it will be stunning and well worth the price.

Yes I'm sure OFC-II will be very special. Can't wait to sink my teeth into the details.

At least a hint? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Richard, I think the pizza box thing is an urban myth. I bought 2 guitars from Al, just for the pizza boxes and they didn't show. I figured they were the real collectible items that I'd be able to sell on ebay for more than the cost of the guitars, but no such luck. I couldn't sue Al for breach of contract, because I didn't specify pizza boxes in the order. I didn't want him to figure out my scheme. |
