Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | I'm speaking out of turn here but since I haven't seen Fugot floating around lately, I believe he has #8... AL had #11 still when I bought mine.
I echo your thoughts on the RI's, I've played them all as well and find each to be their own flavor of ice cream. Both the A1 & A2 are very true to their namesakes. The UTE is my favorite because of the wide neck and low end thump. The #47 RI is the cream of the crop and doesn't even fit in the same context as the others.
I'm sooooo jealous of your trip abroad, wish I could have been there too :p |

I was out in the rural township where they were looking, last Monday....it would be a good place to hide a body.....

I believe they are all spoken for through the various dealers (so you need to find a dealer with one available). |

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | That's what I like so much about the 14 fret vice the 12 fret bodies. With the 14 frets, I can reach up into the octive first position chords shapes (did that make sense?). I can octive shift a first position D chord to the 14th fret position and change up a chord progression in a song and still have it "sound" correct.
Any music theory experts out there help explain this better...since I'm still in the learning mode. |

That's Brian and Brad are really coming together as a duo. Yeah, I'll second that. These guys are good. I forget who it was but someone at the tour commented that in 2005 B&B pretty much sucked and they were not going to be invited back. But in 2006 they really brought the house down. Did someone really say this or did I just dream it. I forget. Anyway, they were REALLY good.

I also found some quality time with Robbie "worshipleader" and found that his pile of song sheets was the same as mine. |

You guys from the tour said the factory was cranking out 3 or so a week yet no one seems to have seen any on the streets. Is all of the production going overseas?
Seems like some should have showed up by now. |

Wow Mark, your wife sounds like my ex! I just make her sound that way. I never liked the Honda minivan she had and we were leaning toward an SUV. We need something to pull my boats and haul stuff. She'd much rather have a Porsche, but she's too practical. She's a keeper if she doesn't decide to get rid of me.
I just can't justify spending the money on a 47 when I have things like college tuition to pay for. Then I'd like to retire and won't have any income to buy guitars. |
