Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | The Patriot that I bought from cwk2 made it to my door today. I've been quietly stalking #76 for quite some time. I spotted an ad online for it almost a year ago, but took a while to get in position to buy it. Then cwk2 posted about it on another Patriot thread, and things eventually came together. THANK YOU KINDLY CWK2! :D :)
Anyway, the thing looks brand new except for a scuff on the bowl. No pick scratches even! Fantastic! :cool: The case is in as good a condition. The outside has done its job protecting the guitar, but the inside is...in a word...perfect! :D I've never seen a brown case in this good a shape! I haven't tuned it up yet because the strings on it look nearly as old as the guitar. But based on my other Patriot (Still for sale by the way! :rolleyes: Look for it on the 'bay, make me an offer hear if you like.), I can't wait to hear it.
This one's a keeper. And I hope to leave it for one of my children. What a great instrument! |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | UPDATE!
I just put new Elixirs on #76. Boyoboyoboy! :eek:
Beautiful tone, serious bass, bright trebles! :cool:
Perfect intonation, and, after removing two shims, nice, low action. :D
I love this guitar! :D :cool:
Excuse me, I gotta go hyperventilate now. |
