I'm not sure if any product actually reached the stores. I think I recall reading that Trace-Elliot are back in business in the UK, but are building bass gear only right now. | ||

I always liked the sound but never thought they were worth the money and over the last 5 years SWr/AER/Fishman and several of the PA makers have really raised the bar at the top end, and Boss and Marshall make great gear at half the price. Paul - I noticed a couple months or so back Peter Cook was knocking out what appeared to be the last of the Trace Elliott acoustic stuff over here at a kncok down price. | ||

Coincidentally, I was reading the intro to the Ovation book last night with Bill's smiling face and noticed he mentione Trace Elliot as one of the Kaman companies. Also said what a great time it was to be in the music business. 1996. | ||
