Location: Suisun City, Ca		The only mid-depth I've ever owned was the GC778 I sold to a buddy (who loves it btw). It sound terrific!
I've no problem with mid and around 3500-4000 works for me. I was a concerned that I would send Al my down payment, only to find out I was buying a $9000 guitar. Checks in the mail, Al!

Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota		I was wondering if the Deep Bowl was an option, since the electronics on the Adamas BearClaw #23 (I am not sure of the number) is optional. I have never ordered a brand new Guitar before, so I am not certain of what to expect as far as ordering. For me, there is no question that they are going to sound Exceptional whatever depth the bowl is!

Location: Phoenix AZ		Well I paid my credit card bill today. Not sure I ever spent that much on guitars before and didn't actually receive any guitars to show for it (yet) !!!

Oh well, the waiting will hopefully give me time to invent some new "smuggle them in" techniques. I almost got busted last time ... I brought a guitar in that "had been sent out for repair" ... yeah right. Wife says, gee look they even put a nice new QC hangtag on the tuners and a new barcode sticker on the case. Yes dear, that shop does some really good work. Gulp.

Location: Sydney, Australia		SWMBO looks at the credit card too hard for me to get away with that. I need her to really want something that is expensive and totally unnecessary first. Then I strike! (hopefully there are still some left by then).

Location: Sydney, Australia		Mark, that's my leverage. New kitchen bench = "expensive and totally unnecessary" (according to me). New guitar (ditto for her). Therein lies the rub if she wants her expensive and totally unnecessary thing. Just dig your heels in.

Location: Boise, Idaho		I've done it many times. It always seems to cost me double. I just gave up and hope she doesn't remember that it's her turn.
After last year's house downsize (read "up cost", I should have lots of turns, but I like being out of debt.

Yup, I can't get excited for the mid bowl, nor the lack of electronics. But I love the look of the ruby red with #23 Bear Claw sound holes. And it appears to be a 12 fret to the body neck.

Deep bowl plus OpPro preamp (or VIP or Studio) was something I really expected to be offered.

That #23 Bear Claw is Drool-Worthy! I think since they are making the bowls a new way (with the autoclave) and they are thinner, stronger, and have more resonance, the bowls will be just fine. I was a little surprised with the lack of electronics, but then I remembered, I don't use them anyway! And you can order it with the electronics for those who do stage work.

My biggest problem with it, is which one do I take down on the NanCave Sign wall to put this one up??? (that would be after the first year or two, where I don't let it out of my sight! It will move from room to room with me, and go to the store, and I can make a special holder on my tractor for it!) LOL!!!

Ok, I am exhausted and should not be posting... That said, TAFKAR, I think our 'boinking' is your 'bonking'!
Bonking is knocking your noggin on something.
