i would guess the millennium sounds like my w597 plugged in, which is excellent. acoustically, i imagine the #47 is the cannon. |

Unfortunately I can't have one of those deep bowl guitars.
It would look like a basket ball being balanced on a beach ball. :D |

Really, it's easier than it looks. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | The #47s are just perfect in everyway - balanced and loud. All I can say about the Millenium is that it sings. I get so many compliments at church - and when I started using the Roland with a little chorus during the fingerpicking songs it's just amazing. When it's got strings on, the CB is also a cannon.
I've only had a couple of days with the GC 12. It is so easy to play and sounds fantastic. I keep playing the first few notes from "Wish You Were Here" - I have to learn that one. I just got the Country Artist today, so really haven't had much time at all with it. I've been learning "Mood For a Day" on steel strings - it is SOOO much easier on a nylon string.
I have to hand it to Stuart Miller and RtMoose for taking such great care of these two guitars - they're both in great shape and sound great. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Oh yeah - while I was sad to see the '05 go becuase of the contour bowl, the deep bowls are just fine on the beach balls - believe me, I know! |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Povation - thanks! The GAS attack for one of the original 12 was cataclysmic (sp?) as I'm sure it was for a bunch of us here. I wanted to get #5 to go along with the 47RI but common sense and a massive tax bill won out so I'll be enjoying what I've got for awhile... and loving it! I'm sure Al hasn't heard the last of me yet though. ;) ;)
Jason - slowly - those darn kids just keep coming up with other things to do! |
