I may have to show this to SWMBO and get permission to bid. Or maybe I should just call Al and get one of the last red 1687 re-issues. We were going to buy a new car last weekend and the dealer politely declined my offer, so we'll wait another few months.
This Elite is a nice looking guitar. |

Location: Colorado | Last time I saw them being talked about here the word was he had two left. Of course, that was at least a few weeks ago. I think the price of the "Book" will be easier for the wife to withstand anyway. I think it'll go for less than $1K. But a guy can dream, right? |

If I win the 30th, I will NOT gloss the neck or the headstock. Am I the only one who likes 'em the way they are? Especially the neck? |

I have a red 1687 RI under my bed. If anyone wants it badly enough let me know, but my intention is to just store it away for a decade and see what happends |
