This waiting is getting very old very fast.
and not even a realistic picture anywhere to help tide me over! |

You gotta fill us in. It'll make the waiting easier. Just be forewarned that your "creativeness" will be judged against some of the other OFCer's custom orders. :D |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Let me just say that gh1 is correct in that 2 of the 3 are the matching 2080D baritones....a 6 stringer and a 12 stringer.
The 3rd guitar is one that I was told would not happen unless a large order was placed. I don't want to say anymore because even though I have been told it actually happened (w/o the accompanying large order), I haven't seen it and until I do, I will withhold the information....less I curse myself and things never materialize.
If it comes to pass, pictures and details will be posted here first.....assuming I don't suffer a heart attack when I get the COD bill :eek: (because no....I am not sure WHAT my final cost will be on the guitar that could not happen)! |

Actually there has been a lot of planning, begging, hoping, ok GASsing over some of the custom builds that may or may not have been built.
Understand the retooling required to make a Baritone LX neck or top. Stephen has been part of a Team of Fanatics that have been pushing the limits. I'm in for wood top Baritone LX w that the flood gates have opened.
Thanks Stephen! |

The good news is they may soon have a stock of the Abalone inlays for D scale necks. It seems nobody asked before now? |

I thought that would look pretty cool on the 2080D. |

Did you hear bad news on yours?
All the talk about how the Ute 12 would sound downtuned is only making me jones even more for my twin baritones! |
