Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | With the arrival of the 1718-6p on Monday (surviving the UPS forklift), my search and quest to complete the -6p Trifecta is finally complete...nearly 22 years after I started with the 1758-6p.
This is a sweet guitar: slim neck w/pronounced V ; great action; and in near mint condition as are the other two: 1868-6p and 1758-6p. Strung on a new set of EJ-16's after cutting off the blackened set upon the guitar's arrival. It plays and sounds wonderful: loud and clear w/ great OP-24 preamp like I personally like...It's awesome!
Here are a couple of pic's and the link to the album on my ning page: 1718-6p
And, finally, the Trifecta itself:
Enjoy! |

I can't remember seeing three finer sibling guitars in my life. What an awesome portrait!
Congrats, my friend...  |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Very nice. I'd be very content with blonde twins. You're going to need to add on to your house or build a barn or something in those W.V. woods. |

I used to have a bunch of -5 guitars...the last one, for the moment, went north to Ohio this week...a fabulous 1758-5...oh well, you can't keep them all and I decided to settle on what I really wanted to keep...and yes Brad, I need a specific guitar room...lol
PS...a very special -5 is waiting for me in NJ, so technically, I guess I still have one... |
