Location: Phoenix AZ | As far as sunburst ones go, there are 4 that I know belong to members on this board, and a 5th one which is a cutaway.
We've seen a few black ones and of course all the natural ones. But has ANYONE ever seen a NUTMEG? It's listed in the catalog, but I have never seen one myself. Think about the nutmeg finish on the John Lennon Legend for example. THAT must be a great looking 1537.

Location: GA USA | It's funny how tastes change. When I joined this club way back when, I only had wood topped Ovations. I had no interest in Adamas, thought they looked silly. Ditto. There were a LOT of Ovations and Adami that I didn't care for in the least. I didn't like the baby blue of the Adamas tops, koa, or even the oak leaf rosettes. Many of them I now think are beautiful. |

And here I thought I was the only one. You couldn't get me to even look at that blue Adamas. Now I look at mine on the wall, and I see the work of art that it is. |

Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | Just wanted to chime in and say that I'm proud and excited to be picking up Dave's 1537. As many of you know, I already have a very nice natural 1537 (which I will have to sell as part of my agreement with the wifeboss). I didn't tell her I was buying the same guitar. That would have been too hard to explain. I just told her it was an upgrade to a collector guitar and a keeper. I think I caught her with a little of residual Christmas spirit. But it all worked out.

Location: Phoenix AZ | The TRC was added for sound, not looks. It has a special rubberized backing. The effect of mounting the rubber backed TRC on the headstock is to subdue the modal-frequency interharmonics. In laymans terms it significantly improves the sound - more ring, sustain, depth, ...

Location: Ohio | That was a pretty good story about the TRC. Fortunately, even though I was born at night, I wasn't born last night. So does that mean it was added later for looks and that it was not part of the original guitar? |

Location: SoCal | Are you certain that 1537's don't come with TRC's? I coulda sworn that recently I saw one with a TRC and it had to have been there for a reason. I mean, nobody would add one just for the helluv it. Would they???? |

Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | It arrived today! WOW. Best guitar per dollar I've ever bought. Dave's pictures are nice but they really don't do this guitar justice.
Now I'm waiting for that giant stack of Maxims to show up. $200 of the guitar price was for the stack of Maxims Dave swore on when he decided to sell this fine guitar. When Dave told me how big the stack was, it comes out to $.25 per copy. LOL.
Thanks Dave. Great guitar for both tone and beauty. A classic.

By the way, where'd the Tupperware name come from? Your wife do a lot party's or something.
