I hope so, I can't afford to buy another one some other day soon....not after what I just did.   |

I don't know about you (Well, in this case I do.), but I love finding ads that say "OBO" after the asking price. 
Happy Buy-A-Guitar Day |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I'm tryinbg to decide between a 54 gold top or a 63 strat(probably won't do that one) or a 52 ES-5 S/B switchmaster, or a 51 ES175 blond single pickup. Then there is the Bourgeois OM Brazilian built to a Dread depth, s/b bearclaw top with abalone binding and a tortise peghead veneer. It all started with looking at a Collings SoCo since I only have one electric north of the Mason-Dixon line. Still leaning toward the SoCo. |

Update on MY new guitar. Yesterday Fedex tracking said it would be here today. Today they are saying it left Henderson, Co. at nine last night (about a six or seven hour drive from here), but it won't be here 'til TUESDAY!!! The truck must've broken down. Now my beautiful '07 Collector's will be sitting in a hot truck somewhere north of Denver for THREE DAYS! *@#**#!! |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Well, time for true confessions;
There is now a beautiful '97 Collector's living at my house, thanks to Iffy. I'm hoping one of my technologically-adept friends will give me a few lessons so that you can see my beautiful new "Princess."
Then there's this 1758 who also lives here now, too, thanks to Robbie. (Known, as "Hildie," or just "the Big Girl.")
It's been a very good spring--but there's no room for anyone else right now, so I'm saving for the one that will be my 60th birthday present to me a few years hence (to be continued...)

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | There have been pictures of the 1758 here on the board--awhile back there was a thread on "Twins," and she and Robbie's 1718 were hanging over the piano at his place.
My two new ones represent the two ends of the spectrum--Hildie will knock your socks off with the size of the sound she produces, and Princess with the sweetness of hers.
They're not nearly as impressive-looking as Patch's new acquisitions (by the way, "Congrats, Patch."), but they definitely have filled a void in my limited collection. :)
