Location: SoCal | I had a chance to play it at NAMM, very impressed. Also, had some great advice. Was this or the Bluegrass.
Al is sending me the Takamine Nashville TNV360SC (cutaway, cool tube). I fought hard but I was weak...

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Very nice. This looks like a really close cousin to the EF75 only with a cutaway dread body and the cool tube preamp, and, of couse, sans the Brazilian. |

Now get your butt over to the TAKAMINE FORUM and play in the correct sandbox. These roundback folks over here think we're nuts ...

| Congratulated you on the Tak board already, but I'll say it here again. Nice choice. We need to get together sometime to compare the tone of your rosewood 360 to my mahogany 340. Nice get! |

Then, right after that, read Al's email. Did get a chuckle (I think) from Al when I told him what I had just told you in an email.
Was going to get the non-cutaway but it wasn't available...so, guess the SC will make people think that I need the extra frets.
Dave, c'mon, I posted on the Tak forum 1st :D
This is the problem with going to NAMM...touch it, play it, GAS. |

I've been tempted. I have a long way to go with Ovation gas yet. I suppose I've been lucky that the local GC doesn' carry anything special in the Tak line either. |

Paul, this year I was a guest of LostArtVintage...maybe Al's a better guitar salesman than some of us give him credit for. ;)
Must say, before making the leap to the Takamine, I was seriously considering one of his last 12 and 14-fret Koas that he had special ordered.
A quick search on this forum will produce wonderful comments (even pictures) from OFC'ers that are fortunate to have one of them. Hopefully, he will still have one when I run out of my supply of Beano. :D |

| Nice! Al may be a lousy salesman, but there's no one better to deal with in these matters. |

Not a damn thing wrong with Ovation gas; I do envy your collection. |

Location: SoCal | Got the guitar in this afternoon...what a great instrument. A little surprise, not the CTP-1 but the CTP-2, newest version of the cool tube pre-amp. Heck, the packing slip said CTP-1.
Another satisfied customer. |
