Location: Warren,Pa. | I've always lusted after these. I love the sound they put out. Even love the sound of the lowly Guitar Center Baladeer Special.
So I have this 6778LX NEB that I love to look at but I'm not very impressed with the sound. Maybe if I sent it in for a Cedar top with maybe a deep cutaway or a contour bowl. Bass soundholes only...don't know what wood for eppaulets. Not sure what to use for top binding. How does all this sound???

What's the vintage of the Applesauce rosewood fretboards? |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I love my 1768C also. I have a good friend that swears it sounds better to him than my 1581 Adamas(I don't agree that it sounds better, just different)or the 1537 I USED to have. There IS something about those cedar tops. I guess that's why they used them so much for classicals. |
