Location: GA USA | I'd like to have a natural Viper as well. I've played one before, and a burst (duh), red and greyburst. But I'd like to own my sunburst and a natural/maple as well.
I'm slowly beefing the guitar fund back up, and when it and the right deal align, you'll know it. |

Mike (Capo), that guitar looks better every time I see a pic of it. I think I'm getting to really like the bursts. |

I still think that Ovation has the Best Burst on the market. I'm anxious to see your 1537 when it returns from the spa. |

And regarding what the factory can do with a burst 1537, here ya go!
And as far as most recent purchases goes, I bought a Zoom H$ recorder today. Does that count? |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Oh oh. I can't post pics 'cause I don't have a camera and wouldn't know how even if I did. But I just got a Manuel Cantreras II C-5, hand made in Madrid. Sad story. The previous owner, who was an excellent classical guitarist, had an industrial accident. Lost his fingers. I could cry just thinking about it. But I got the guitar for $1,000. It lists for $2,650, and on top of that, he had had electronics installed. It came with a beautiful case, a stand, and a new set of Augustine strings. I promised him I would cherish the guitar forever. Now I need to start working harder on my classical repertoire and put that darned banjo down for a few minutes! |

I didn't see he had any but I needed something cheap that I could leave in open tuning for both slide & fingerstyle & it fit the bill perfectly
so I picked one up off the bay last week for 123.50 from a local seller w/case.
Heck its worth that just to be able to tell my wife "I'm going to play with my Johnson"

They're brass body biscuit reso's for a swampy blues sound, while yours is a Spider cone, which probably has more of a bright tone. But at prices like we paid, you can't lose. When time comes to upgrade, I figure I can always get out of it what I paid.
Over at Big Road Blues, you'd be surprised. While we may turn up our noses at Rogue and Johnson guitars, they have a decent reputation for low-cost resonators.
Dog, you need a classical sized arched case to fit it properly. |

Might find one someday cheap.
Thought about getting one of these but
http://elderly.com/accessories/items/GCEV-DOBT.htm
Don't want to spend as much as the guitar on it.
Several guys over at BRB bought some of those Rouges when they were blowing them out at MF.
I played a few Regals that wern't to bad either.
Next on my list
Republic parlor Reso
Olympus LS-10 linear recorder
Hamer Vector (maybe)

Location: Germany | It was a sunny fall afternoon today and so I decided to take a pic of my latest acquisition:
It's a wide-neck Adamas I from 1981. I was looking for this model since five years. Two weeks ago I was lucky that a very nice guy in Munich sold the guitar of his deceased father. The sound of these early textured top Adamas guitars is stunning. Brown color looks very warm and natural (but my favorite color is still beige).

Location: Boise, Idaho | Nice, Tim. I didn't know they came in teal, but I was never sure if teal was blue or green. It's a guy thing apparently. You going to go for a GS 1 and 2 in each color? I think I like the sound of my GSII with the two humbuckers better than the GSIII. | |

Haven't played a GS 1 or 2, or even seen one of 'em up close :)
Funny, the blue sounds better but the teal plays smoother :cool:
The Applause...well, it's an Applause.... :rolleyes: | |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I think I've got a problem with the middle pickup on mine. It sounds much better on the neck or bridge pickups, but not with the switch in the middle 3 positions. Pretty versatile, but way more switches and effects on my amp than I know what to do with. | |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I just picked up another Takamine, sort of. More of an adoption, since I had this model already once before but sold it. TNV460SC. It's an NEX sized cutaway. Spruce over Rosewood with KrewlTube electronics. Extreamely nice guitar. Owner fell on some hard times and was gonna sell it for $1500. which is a great price for this model (list $3499).
I'll hold it for him until he gets back on his feet. If in the end he decides to sell it outright I'll let y'all know because this is a guitar that would make someone very happy. Still wondering why I sold mine. I think somebody here on the OFC has it, right?
