Location: South of most, North of few | Once again, thanks goes to Andrew who graciously bowed out of this auction to let me bid on it. I appreciate the honor of the members here, not cutting each others throat. What a great bunch of guys!! (you all can take a bow now...)
I hope it gets here before I go on vacation to Gods country (Tenn.) and visit with Gospel Guitar Guy. I'm sure he will enjoy playing this one also. If I can find internet access through my air card there, I will give a full report. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Thanks Dave, had a little Capt. last night myself after the hockey game. (ECHL semi pro) We even have our own hockey team. The Florida Everblades. They play at an indoor stadium about 3 miles from my house. It's not the caliber of the NHL, but it's close. :D |

Location: South of most, North of few | Thanks Tim. I have loved the 12 fretters since I had my original 1114, and continued with the 1614. Can't wait for this one to hit the front porch! I only hope it gets here before I go on vacation, so I can take it with me. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | Well, with all I have and have had, I still haven't owned a 12-fretter yet. And, darn it anyway, I'm too attached to the slim collection to trade out now. Just have to wait for the opportune moments to add to... |
