Read the letter that came from Kaman with this one. It's top is made of 300 year old Russian burled walnut, part of the wood collection of a Russian Czar. Has anyone ever seen one of these? Joe | ||

Look at this one: ELITE WALNUT 2000 LTD Very nice guitar but I don't know anything about the sound. Jérôme :cool: PS: it's funny to see that the picture of the letter come from my web site!! ;) | ||

Joined: January 2005 Posts: 640 Location: boulder | I saw this one also. It's rare, but I think without knowing how it sounds will (did) keep me from throwing money at it. As for walnut, the elite 5868 six string angel step walnut is a great guitar. Maybe it is just the one I have, but I think others like theirs also. It killed me not to buy T28's 12 string last week. But I was happy to see MrDano snag it. It was a gorgeous looker as well. Has anyone ever played a 2000-ltd-burl walnut before, and if so how does it sound???? mike | ||

And on Guitars it's even better, but, "for the price" I think you'd be wiser buying an Adamas for the resale value, or for buying a korean ovation with a nice quilted maple top like the one I bought for my Daughter for about $400. if you want something to play that looks like this. I'll be honest from the photo's My Girls Guitar looks better than that Elite at 1/3 the price? Randy | ||

From world history in high school (20+ years ago) I thought the Russian Czars ended in 1917 when the guy with hemophelia quit. Or was that the Russian revolution and beginning of communism??? Oh well. I kinda like the guitar. Don't know how it would sound. | ||
