Location: Wooster, Ohio | It introduced the midbowl, I believe, was built to try to advance acoustic tone. See bone bridge, tilted a few degrees to maximize pressure on pickup.

Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | I have a '93 also and I'll add that these guitars are stunningly beautiful in person and are one of the most underrated of the Collector series....
The cream binding is accented with a subtle brown, tan, and orange stripe surrounding the gorgeous natural (-4) sitka spruce top! (which ages nicely)
The ebony bridge, fretboard, neck stripe, tuner buttons, peghead overlay, and epaulet pieces all blend together to complete the look.
Neck is a comfortable V-shape which make chording effortless.(IMHO) Fretboard has no position markers except for a single maple "1993" inlay at the 12th fret position.
Bracing is Quintad (not A) and the saddle I believe is canted 15 degrees to the rear to add more downward pressure to the bridge pick-up to give a brighter more cutting tone....the sound is well balanced and clean...and LOUD!
Whoever buys this is going to get a outstanding guitar....and $750 is a great price (I wouldn't take any less for mine!)
Good Luck with your sale Steve! |

Location: Wooster, Ohio | I need to hire you as a salesman, you did a better job listing the features that I did on my ebay ad. Bill Kaman worked with some Nashville people to help bring this one out I believe trying to bring back more acoustic sound after all the years with the shallow bowl.

It amazes me that these lovely guitars, once pretty expensive, can be picked up for little money. |

Location: Wooster, Ohio | Gonna relist. These really are very good guitars. I think the state of the vintage guitar market is being strained by the economy. The doubleneck I purchased a couple of weeks ago, which cause me to list this guitar was bought I thought for much less than I would have paid a year ago.
