Location: 6 String Ranch | Russ, All the Panel Masters had elite sound holes and ply tops.
The answer is to have one with a round hole and one with eppi's. One will always sound better to you and it won't always be the same one. |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | The Line 6 Variax will resolve this argument when they produce their Ovation model. Turn switch and it's Elite, turn switch and it's Adamas, turn switch and it's GLEN CAMPBELL Balladeer, turn switch and it's a TAYLOR. No more arguments, you can have them all.

Location: Phoenix AZ | Paul makes a good point. I judge the sound of a guitar based only on how it sounds to me from my playing position. In my case this is valid, since I only play by myself for personal gratification (no comments, please). Maybe a guitar with a soundhole cut into the bass side waist would sound awesome to me. Like a special porthole just to pipe the sound up to the player. Dave |

Location: High, in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado | I like to play shallow guitars for comfort reasons. Having several different makes and models, I have settled on the Elite's. The round back and epaulets beat the round hole with square backs hands down in my books.
Like previously stated, it could just to my ears. But then, it's my ears I am playing for.

Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | trboy, i'll certainly keep all posted on the mulligan stew guitar. (paul t, what is mulligan stew?) my brother said the case was perfect so i can't have gone too wrong at $135. and who knows, it might be a good guitar for those redneck bars without the chickenwire. i've already had enough fun talking about it to make a good deal. i'm trying to figure out where where the guy accumulated all of the different parts to put it together. if anyone has any info on it of ever finds any, let me know.. i'll find out allot when i look inside. the bracing must have gotten in the way of all of those holes if it had any more you could play miniature golf on it.
down here, good roofs are poured concrete for the most part. i just did one with 6" of styrofoam under it. hope it drops the summer ac bills. |

Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | bill, i guess i don't even know what a panel master is. can you shed a little more light on the elite standards made from 93-95. i like their clean look. if they are something else on toast don't tell me because i just bought one. or maybe i'm on my way to having a "toast" collection too. |

Location: Scotland | Russ, Mulligan Stew? I have no clue. Mulligatawny Soup maybe, but that's Indian. Having said that 80% of the restaurants in the UK are Indian, and that suits me just fine.
"Panel Masters" are Elite-stlye collectors editions with exotic veneered plywood tops |

Location: NJ | I may be wrong here, but I believe "Mulligan Stew" may have derived from faire created around hoboes' campfires and were concocted from whatever that day could be picked, found, scrounged, begged, pilferred, and/or hunted. (I THINK).
Templeman: THANKS! for the report on the eppicurian ethnicity of your neighborhood and kicking my "curry endorphins" into hyperactivity, because NOW! I'll have to get up, put my shoes on (for the first time today) and drive down to The Clay Oven for a pint container of mulligatawny, and order of mahlai kofta (okay, AND some kulcha).
You bastard!
(I hope you realize this makes us "even" for the Chilean Red on your new laptop!) :p |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | Us hoboes that spent our last dollars on strange instruments eat a lot of that milligatawny stew. what goes into it, I'd just as soon not say, road kill seeems to be listed prominently in every recipe I've seen. None of them even mention Indian curry, unless the words "steal some chili peppers" refers to that. My son told me of Mexican travellers he met in San Diego that told him they travel with a bottle of hot sauce that makes many roadside herbs not only edible but pretty good.
Thats what keeps us going. |
