Location: Phoenix AZ		These Amelia Island visits are proving to be a bit more expensive than I seem to estimate.

Last year I came home with a very rare sunburst brazilian CW28. Way over the top but I attributed it to a one off opportunity. Now this year no sooner does the plane touch down in Phoenix and I stumble on another little sunburst gem. I ain't visiting Amelia Island again for a long time ...







It'll be here later this week and I'll let you know all about it. Sorry the back isn't round, but you know how it goes.

Location: Phoenix AZ		Dang. Just realized this is the same "violin burst" finish as the Tak430 I recently got. I must have some subliminal attraction to the color. Probably goes back to my days attempting to learn the violin.

Is this your 1st C-10? Man I love the size, feel and sound of them. This one looks just like the C-10DB I got (remember the ugly couch photo) about a month ago. You're gonna love it!

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia		I'm glad I was blinded by Music's 1688 in Amelia, I never did try the Collings or the Nationals. Didn't even get a chance to try #35... :(

I've only played one Tak over the years that I liked, it was a black 12 string cutaway model made around '98-'99 timeframe. It was way more than I could afford in those days, so I never followed up on what model it was. Don't like the neck profile on any others I tried. One day maybe I will.

Location: Tennessee		Very nice get, Dave. I was watching that one, but ended up deciding to hold out for a CJ in that sunburst color. Glad you won it.

Location: 6 String Ranch		I would agree.

However, I would not get a maple guitar in sunburst, although what they make is very nice. If you're doing maple, you want to see all that flamey maple, right?
