Here they are, together at last. Like the many members on this board, there is variety and different personalities - each one unique. Some day I'll learn how to play them - but at least I won't be bored! One of these days, the solidbodies will join the fray.

That one's waiting on a bridge transplant. I recently added an OpPro to it.

Yep - that's the plan. I need a good backup to use in church services.

sweet! very sweet, mike!
i would guess the millennium sounds like my w597 plugged in, which is excellent. acoustically, i imagine the #47 is the cannon.

Nice collection,
Unfortunately I can't have one of those deep bowl guitars.
It would look like a basket ball being balanced on a beach ball. :D

It is very much a learned skill. I picked it up naturally over time but you can see dozens of men doing it at The Gathering I suspect.

Really, it's easier than it looks.

The #47s are just perfect in everyway - balanced and loud. All I can say about the Millenium is that it sings. I get so many compliments at church - and when I started using the Roland with a little chorus during the fingerpicking songs it's just amazing. When it's got strings on, the CB is also a cannon.

I've only had a couple of days with the GC 12. It is so easy to play and sounds fantastic. I keep playing the first few notes from "Wish You Were Here" - I have to learn that one. I just got the Country Artist today, so really haven't had much time at all with it. I've been learning "Mood For a Day" on steel strings - it is SOOO much easier on a nylon string.

I have to hand it to Stuart Miller and RtMoose for taking such great care of these two guitars - they're both in great shape and sound great.

Oh yeah - while I was sad to see the '05 go becuase of the contour bowl, the deep bowls are just fine on the beach balls - believe me, I know!

Great collection!
Crimsonlake, you should make a space for your OFC guitar!

Povation - thanks! The GAS attack for one of the original 12 was cataclysmic (sp?) as I'm sure it was for a bunch of us here. I wanted to get #5 to go along with the 47RI but common sense and a massive tax bill won out so I'll be enjoying what I've got for awhile... and loving it! I'm sure Al hasn't heard the last of me yet though. ;) ;)

Jason - slowly - those darn kids just keep coming up with other things to do!
