Location: East Tennessee | A few of these were made after the 97 collectors were done.
I've not heard many good things about this model.
The sunburst finish is nice though. |

What have you heard? I was keeping my eye on this one because I love my '97 Collectors so much. I thought it might be worth having a longer neck with the same basic features. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | One of the real benefits of the 97C is the bridge placement. I'd be interested to hear how moving the bridge north possibly alters that sound. Dave |

The sunburst looks funny with a natural neck but they did do them that way. |

The sunburst finish is nice though. |

Location: SoCal | I always looked at that little parlor guitar and thought it looked, well, weird. I'm guessing that there were some bodies left over from the 97 C run... |
