| Beauty, Bobbo, congrats. Please give us a report when it arrives. I've always liked the look of maple but wasn't sure about the tone. I like a big bottom end (shaddup Wabbit, Weas, darkbar, Jas, Beggin', Phil - did I miss anybody?). |

Location: South of most, North of few | Congrats Dave! I never did like maple guitars till I got to spend a little time with one. Granted, the one I got is not of that caliber, but I kind of like the sound just the same. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | It should sound great. I had one like that for a few years. Great balance. Mine had an Engleman top, good for fingerstyle. In the end it didn't get played enough and moved on. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | My maple Collings C10 is very balanced and I had a while back a maple Guild 12 string that was very full sounding.
That guitar is a beauty Dave and the K&K is a nice bonus. Nice price also! |

Ovation 1763 : should clear customs this week!
Adamas 1781 : should clear customs this week!
Wasn't planned that way, it's funny how things just come together. Now just gotta work out how to explain three new guitars to SWMBO! |
