| Found! Thanks to this webite! Without it, there would be no way. In 2006 they archived an auction that happened to be "THE" auction. I even spoke to an agent on ebay trying to see if they backup their photos. She had NEVER seen an auction 2 years old. The person who runs this site deserves that credit. Without everyone heres help, I wouldn't have found it...Talked to the guy tonight and is one of the nicest guys I've ever spoken to. Guess what. Serial number says #792 :D (gotta show that to john at the factory)
Money order is in the mail tomm. via overnight.
Thanks everyone! |

| Wow! You have amazing persistence, that's almost a needle in a haystack quest. Congratulations on your find, and best of luck on the others. Still keeping an eye out for you, but it looks like you may not need the help. |

| Oh, I'm crazy :D
The one thing that fell that made this happen was the archive from this site. Without that...simply put...no way
Like I've said before, if anyone is looking for anything in particular, let me know and I'll add it to my search. It's the least I could do. |

| Have these guitars mentioned in your will. That way they will go to where you want if something ever happens unexpectedly or the inevitable.
If you need my name and address let me know.
:cool:
Enjoy |

"Okay - I am a chick from Texas that drives a classic red convertible, loves ovation/Adamas guitar along with hand made custom guitars, believes you can never have enough guitars and loves football and basketball and doesn't mind watching them all day Sunday."
Check out the MG convertible on that thread. Beautiful. |

Randy Don't worry, I don't listen to any of this new stuff. I listen to almost everything older than me |
