I just want to BOAST of my new find: a wonderful 1537-1 which I found in a music-shop in Holland. I put some pics in my new album on this site. Great guitar. Feels pretty cool to own one.

Sweet guitar. That one has a very dark transition in the color. Not alot of burgundy. Almost like a brown burst. Great find! Congrats.

I want the tearaway sister!

No. In second thoughts, I'm way too old.

A nice guitar is much more sensible.

A sunburst and a 1537 all in one. Incredible. Thanks OMA for bringing it all to life once again as you are so wont to do. I wonder how many of these were made??

I don't know that they sound better, but I sure liked playing Damon's at our NW gathering a few years ago.

I have somewhere near 50 guitars hanging around this joint and I can always tell when someone is strumming THAT one just by the tone.

Bursts in general might not sound better, but if you're basing it off the sound of my 1537-1, the statement rings true.
