Location: Wooster, Ohio | Got my 87 Collector back in the rotation after a long while not seeing her. I have been using jumbo's and dreads and a little carbon fiber for the last several years. Forgot how well the balanced sound of an O works in a band setting. At Praise band this morning it was a real pleasure, cut through, unmatched fingerboard which I need more now that I am getting a little older. These guitars still hold up to anything. So easy to neglect old friends. Think I will reward her with a new nut to spread out the string a little further.

Location: Wooster, Ohio | Putting new strings on a guitar you have up for sale is also a mistake as well. Just put up my 1993 collectors for sale and got her tuned up with new strings to compare to the 87, man it is close. A little brighter sound but volume is pretty comparable this is nuts. No wonder I never part with guitars.

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | Glad to have you back around Steve. It dawned on me several years ago that I routinely replaced guitars for the last 25 years or so, except for my Custom Balladeer. Without even thinking about it, I just never let it go.
Of course, now they tend to accumulate more than be replaced, but I still LOVE my old Balladeer.
