The 1777-4GC was a special run for Guitar Center. It’s a mid-depth A-Braced Legend with a rosette unique to itself. There was a similar rosette on the Folklore from the same era, but the color scheme is a bit different. It’s a great player and has enough volume to keep up with the dreads if you’e playing it acoustically, a surprise since it's mid-depth.

Bought initially as the ‘camping guitar’, it’s graduated to the ‘porch guitar’. It’s an easy sit down player when just noodling by myself.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		Damon, I swear you could photograph an old pair of Beal's boots on your red blanket and we'd drool over it. That's a beauty, particularly the rosette and how it's carried over into the 12th fret marker. Very classy.

Your guitar is very nice but you need a blanket upgrade.
