Location: Wichita, KS | My first is the tan Breadwinner I bought last year. The guitar I wanted for 30 years (OK, maybe not in tan). Got it on my first bid in my first ever eBay auction. Played her last night for about 3 hours. Photo on my ning page. |

Location: On the Coast - Halfway between SF & OR | Shiny bowl balladeer(?) picked up used in 1971-72. Not sure of model as label was missing when I got it - 3 digit serial number stamped inside bowl on neck mount. Still have it. Hoping to someday find a shiny bowl 12-string to keep it company. |

| A classical. No idea of the model number. Didn't much care for it. Long gone. |

Location: Indiana | A brand-new Balladeer in 1972 for (I believe) $283 - most of the money from mowing yards. I bought/sold/traded many times since - but always an Ovation.
Down to three now: 1868 Elite and 1617 Legend (both natural finish) and an Adamas 1681-5 which is at the mothership getting a neck re-set and general tune up. |

Location: Round Rock, TX | Got a CS2000 in, uh, 2000. I enjoyed the sound at first but got increasingly dissatisfied with it. I jettisoned it as soon as I played a 1778LX. Haven't missed it a bit. The LX lasted until a couple of weeks ago. Now that one I miss (the 06C and 07C do, however, keep the pain manageable). |

Location: NW of Philadelphia | In 1995, I felt I needed an acoustic. My wife bought me a Celebrity Deluxe. I still have it and play it regularly.
