Location: Littleton, CO | Picked up a used one yesterday at Guitar Center for $1400. I had played it about 3 or 4 weeks ago and didn't have the $ to get it then. Was surprised no one had snagged it up, so after playing it for at least an hour I decided it had to come home with me. Wow, what a guitar. Plays and sounds great! Anyone else own one? |

Location: Littleton, CO | Nostr - It has the black finish. But I think the natural wood finish looks better, which I could have snagged one of those. Miguel, is that Jerry Garcia standing next to you? |

Location: Jet City | Congrats on the acquisition. My AD gets played more than any other acoustic I have. I want boost buttons on all my O's!
It's cost prohibitive though. |

Location: Chicago | I own the black AD 1769. Recently set it up and it's my daily practice axe unplugged. Just love it. I have not quite solved the problem of how to get its fine acoustic sound to "happen" when I plug it in. But that's a special technical problem, I think, with my wiring.
Great Axe! |
