| Couldn't you try and look at least a little happy?
And learn a 4th chord?

I really hope to play one of these someday so I can see (and hear) what all the fuss is about. |

But let's get real. If I never got another guitar, I'd still be as lucky as a man can be. |

Kudos to you! Enjoy your former orphan...
Any chance those adoption folks are following this thread... If so, I lost out on a Lamborghini on Ebay... hint hint... :-)
Cheers

In 1989 My Father purchased and gave me a 1758 12 string Elite, I kind of know how you're feeling. I had the same grin on my face.

Location: Boise, Idaho | Congrats! I had a long talk with that guy that owns an ark on Friday and he was so excited about this he spilled the beans. He really gets a lot of joy out of stuff like this, so it may be better to give than receive. Although I'd rather get the 87. In my case a 1537, but we're working on that.
His mother had a stroke last week, so he's got a lot on his mind. Hope all goes well for our not so secret friend. |

Pauly, I played it this morning in church. Sounded great. Well, the guitar did. I sounded like, well, me.
Noah came to my church this morning (The Wondering Jew -- his hair musta been red before it went silver) and took pics. Hope to see them tomorrow. I was glad he was there for the 87's maiden voyage. |

Great people on this board!!
That's why I keep coming back even when I am tired.
Pictures are great but the sun reflecting off the toothy smile destroyed the sight in my right eye. |

Location: SoCal | I arrived as the ladies and Paul were warming-up prior to the Contemporary Worship Service.
A new song required a 4th chord from Paul.
The ladies really had him sweating... they abandoned the new song.
For its debut, Paul shared his new ’87 at Worship Service the morning of August 21st, 2005.
Tony and I are so grateful to John, Kim, and their team.
Without their magic, we would not have been able to pull off this surprise.
It is beautiful and sounds as fantastic as it looks.
18 years ago, it would not have sounded this good.
Like a fine wine, aged to perfection.

Location: GA USA | This is one long thread that I had to read every word of. Great stuff. I could show you pix of me playing my new O that I ordered from Al, except IT HASN'T COME YET. To be fair, he warned me that it might take up to 4 months and it's only been 1.5, but I am leading worship "all by my lonesome" next week, and it surely would be nice. I'll just enjoy it all the more when it gets here.
Oh, and I'm ready to go, since I just got a Hawaiian shirt... seems to be a prerequisite. Anyway, congrats, and admiration to you fine people. |

But I believe there was an Elite called the Angel Step?(not sure angel something), and the wood surrounding the soundhole (sorry not the hole itself), was walnut. |
