Location: SoCal | Well, Dobro has the prettiest one (black) up for trade at a lot less than this FRG.
IMHO, based on the two that I had...
They are a Custom Legend with a stealth boost and a very nice truss rod.
Loose a little on the acoustic side for what you gain with the cutaway. |

Location: SoCal | Tony, one of the things I like about it is the natural face. Not a fan of black guitars.
I also like the traditional CL neck but with the new style rosette. The rosette on the 30th CL is too dark.
But I have no need for the boost.
Having said all that, I love the look.... |

Your name comes to my mind every time I see the phrase "A brace". Interesting thing this Internet. |

Location: Alagoas, Brazil | Well, I do not intend to merchandise anything, neither I do get personal profit for saying this, but I bought my AD-II brand new from Al and it was a bit cheaper than this at the time.
Also, mine is NOT a FRG.
Obvioulsly the market is volatile, and nobody can tell how much would a brand new guitar like this cost right now, but if you feel the need to buy one, I bet Al can beat this price.
Best Regards,
Miguel |
