Hello, I'm new to this board and excited to find it! I've had an 1867 legend for the past 12 years, and I suppose due to a lack of care, the bridge ripped off and the top cracked straight down the middle! It was pretty awful, especially since it was in its stand and I was sitting 5 feet away when it happend. At any rate, seems like good time for an upgrade. I've always loved the Elite model and am trying to narrow it down.. Are there any really good reasons to go for the 2078 over the 1778? Its about $450 difference, and the 2078 has the contoured body, AAA vs AA top and is more decorative.. Any other thoughts? I'm so excited that shops are selling these guitars way under MSRP.. the 2078 is going for about $1500 which is awesome. I think I payed 1200 for my 1867 back in '94..

Thanks for the help!

Happens all the time. If you're lucky, no one like me will respond and it will sink to the bottom. If you're not lucky, we'll keep bringing it back to the top just to embarass you.
Your other post generated a response from cwk2. I'd do what he says.
