It would be nice to keep it in the OFC. i just bought a 1537, so discretionary funds are low -- even still, i've been tempted, just from a hoarding instinct i suppose, to grab this as well.
I have Stephan's Black 1537, this natural one would be a great companion. Ah well, perhaps in a few months.
These really are great sounding guitars -- so unique.

Location: Boise, Idaho | Waskel, I'll try to bring my 1537 over to Portland in August just to show you what you're missing. Since I'll be driving the Boxster over on the 5th, I might not have room. If I take the 1537 over as my passenger, would you keep it for a couple weeks so I can bring it back after the 19th? On the 19th we'll be taking my daughter back to UP, so I may not have room for my guitar on the way up, but would have lots of room on the way back. |

Still, it would be great to hear them side by side for comparison.

Location: closely held secret | Mark, I'd love to. Keeping it is easy. Giving it back might be harder...
I got to play Jeff W's in CT last month (jammin with Al and Cliff on Moondance!) and enjoyed it. I'm trying to justify getting one... maybe if I have yours for a couple weeks my wife will fall in love with the sound. |

Location: south east Michigan | Our old lawnmower went ka-put last weekend. I made sure Mrs. Slipkid went with me to pick out a new one. I made it clear that whatever she liked and felt most comfortable with was the one we would get.
Pretty clever, eh? |

But enough hi-jacking...
Somebody.....please buy Jeff's 1537. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | My favorite lawnmower (true) story: Jim, one of the attorneys in the office, walks into Gerry's office and catches him getting a hug from his attractive secretary. She embarassingly explains that Gerry just gave her his wheelbarrow. Without missing a beat, Jim says, "What do I get if I give you my riding lawnmower?" |

She thinks power tools make nice Anniversary presents as well. |

Location: NJ | Reminds me of a funny story at work:
One of my co-workers was getting married (his third) and sent out invitations.
Another co-worker was going to be out of town producing a show that weekend and sent the following RSVP:
". . . Terribly sorry that I won't be able to attend your Wedding . . . but I PROMISE that I'll make it to the Next One . . ." |

Location: SoCal | 1537's are such great guitars! I've been trying different strings on mine and was just not happy with the sound I was getting. Wednesday night at the Chop Shop at West LA Music, I was given a set of Adamas 1818's (lights). I put them on last night and found that rich deep mellow sound that I had been searching to re-find.
Congrats to whoever bought it. |

I like the 1818's too. They're not "the greatest string for every guitar", I they hit the 8-9 ring on most. |
