.... the top on this one is going to be amazing. Even in the marginal photos the silking stands out, in real life this will be a looker |

... Thanks for the info. I have that same guitar and it does look that good. The most phenominal top I've seen is on my old Custom Legend 12-string. It looks like your viewing a light show. When ever I get a chance to figure out how to do the picture post-thing I'll post pictures. |

Location: Houston, Texas | Well,............
The more I look at this the more interested I become. Just noticed that its close enough for a local pickup. I can't really afford it now but, well you guys know how that goes, and I don't have a SWMBO to worry about. So I may venture into this despite my earlier word.
The only thing I really don't like about it is that I would feel really limited without the cutaway, but it would really fill an empty niche for recording. Don't worry too much though, I can't go too much higher than where its at now.
I'm waiting for a reply from the seller now so I'm still not sure if I will bid or not but I wanted to say something since I had said earlier that I wouldn't.
Sorry guys but ya'll have said too many good things about this model. |

Location: Houston, Texas | You've probably already outbid my max. But it'll still be a great deal above what I can afford. If I win I'll record something on it for the next OFC CD and you'll probably say "boy, I'm glad I didn't win that!" :eek: |

Location: Boise, Idaho | If you haven't already, do a search for 1537. That's what I did and it began my obsession with this model. It is simply a wonderful guitar with a "unique voice", warm and woody sounding. The walnut purfling is also unique as far as I know. It is a "must have" guitar. |
