Bill is a devious man. The last time he "lent" me a guitar for a clinic, that instrument somehow found it's way back to AZ in exchange for a fat check. Don't fall prey to this scam. He will lure you into depths that you don't want to go.
That said, I'll gladly play the TAK75. Low (but not zero) probability of wanting to aquire it, since I already have one. Well, then again if I had TWO of them, I could set them up on stands facing each other and place my head in the middle of them such that I would sniff the rosewood using both nostrals in kind of a "stereo" smelling.

You're safe. Nothing on that list is for sale. They are the ones that are left after many siftings of all that collected over the years. The Tak 75 is the one I've been using, you played it last year, and I do have another one but it's untouched new. It could be for sale but it ain't coming out of the closet.
I didn't mention any of the Collings or Martins, which might also make an appearance.
Dave, I got a few ukes too but not anything other than sopranos. Maybe by then there will be more.
There is a lack of Academys, a truely brilliant and misunderstood guitar.
Waskel, coming as far as you are, just bring clothes and money for drinks. The airlines love to smash guitars. Same goes for anyone else flying..
All that said I do understand that there is just something special about playing and learning stuff on your own guitar. Just trying to help out here a bit. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Yeah, OK you're right. I was just thinking of the 84. The Thunderbolt is in another class by itself and the Josh has been retopped, it's not original. Of course the original was in 5 different pieces and had a dip of over an inch. This top is one of the first that Willie V, the maastercraftsman, put the new X bracing on. It's the original neck and bowl with their original finish.
I also have a nylon or two but I figured they wouldn't get much call. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I'm not picky. The Qs are spoken for. I'll be very pleased with whatever is left, preferably something with a cutaway, lighter strings and low action. Beal's guitars remind me that even those sitting on the bench in the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL remain among the best athletes in the world. |

I thought we talked you out of that on the other thread a month ago. |

Location: south east Michigan | I gather that Bill preffers thick, chunky necks and heaver strings (thus higher action). I'm gonna spend ALOT of time with my fingers on the fretboard. I figure I'll be better off with something that is comfortable and familiar.
But I'm still waffleing. |

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | Due to a shift in planned vehicles for the trip down (diesel VW wagon instead of Explorer), I need to cut back on the number of guitars I can bring down.
Right now, I'm thinking just the doubleneck and OFC unless any of the fly-in folks have a desire to play something else.
Here's the other choices:
Adamas: 47RI, U681T, 1885
Elites: 1537, 1778-RF, 1868
Folklore Deluxe: FD-14
Hollowbodies: Tornado or Gretsch 6120
I can probable squeeze in one, maybe two more cases.
