According to the seller, this was misplaced in a store-room at the local shop. I think that it was a floor demo model. He sez he snagged it about a month ago...
Then his Wife told him that he had Too Many Guitars! [She hasn't met the OFC.]

The new one has the OP-Pro.

And it had the standard 3 shims under the saddle...

But I removed two shims, and now the string height is acceptable. I also put on some EXP11 80/20's... The other one has EJ16's. There is no reason to put the same strings on both guitars, I don't think. :p

Hehe - nice one. I never understood the need of having two of the same guitar until I came here.

Me I'm after a 2nd 07C ;)

I think the Elite T would make a great camp fire guitar. The plain black look could easily be improved on. I recall Joe Satriani's wife attacking his guitar with a silver pen...

Hey! They aren't the same guitar... One has an OP-Pro and EXP strings on it. :p

It is almost new and the price was right.
And USA T's are nearing collectors' item status.
They used to be on evilBay everyday for cheap, now those who have them are keeping them.
The top on this one hasn't even opened-up yet.

Mine thinks two of the same brand are too many. I have to agree that 17 Ovations is a bit over the top.

some how I have ended up with 2 ...(red and black). My sense of symmetry requires that I continue to look for the pewter one to complete the set.....IS this stage 1 OCD ?

Mine likes to take a new count of guitars each time she visits the bandroom. This no longer concerns me because (1) there's so many she gets confused when counting, (2) she forgets how many she counted on the last visit, and (3) she totally ignores the amps.
