Location: Boise, Idaho | I've got a 91 BMW Mtechnic convertible that I'd trade for a couple Ovations. My wife and daughter expect me to replace it, but I could deal with their issues later. |

Location: SoCal | Hmmmm, maybe if my daughter doesn't do her part in shipping it out. 1989 gold 325i convertible w/low miles. Yet, she complains of parking in Manhattan.
While my wife was housebound for a number of years, I got away with 5 speed manuals for the Mustang and Alfa. She wants an automatic.
So, yes dear... :D |

Location: Boise, Idaho | The 91 is an automatic. A little over 100,000 miles, though. It was a Hollywood car originally, that someone brought up to Sun Valley. I tried to tell my wife that I bought her a silver BMW for our 25th anniversary, but she didn't believe it. Maybe that's why she didn't buy that Legend that I hinted at. |

Now I won't be able to look at the Takamine TNV-360-SC that my partner for this week, who just had a baby by the way, is playing without getting a visual... |

Now, wasn't he the one who also referred to an Adamas I headstock as a "cauliflower crown"?
Yet bought Holdsworth Adamas I...or was that StandingOvation that pulled the "trigger"?
:p :p |

PS - I think it was StandingOvation who grabbed the Adamas 1 |

I don't think the next guitar to get VIP was discussed, but it's logical it would be one of the higher end ones, like a CLLXCB.
By the way, we saw a proto of what "might" be the 2007 Collector. A beautiful bearclaw topped custom elite with lots of bling, VIP, contour bowl and really cool mono inlaid vainy epaulets.
Dave
PS - MtnBikerFred won the givaway. A BEAUTIFUL contour bowl custom elite.

hmmm..."A beautiful bearclaw..." :rolleyes: |

I couldn't believe I won the guitar. God obviously wanted me to have a guitar like this for some reason. I "loaned" it to brother Brandon. He's a young college teacher with a wife and two daughters who leads worship, and serves as a youth pastor. He also writes music and gigs with it. |

I've been to 3 OFC gatherings in CT, and the two years that I traveled there with others, both of those people walked away with the raffled guitar. Who wants to travel with me in '07? |
