Location: Tennessee | I had a chance to play both 41 and 50 a couple of weeks back. They are awesome guitars ... but different from each other -- in good ways. |

It's my nature.
Besides, the drinks w/lunch had worn off by then, and the drinks with dinner were yet to come . . .

They're pretty much ALL "different from each other" . . . pretty much like a REALLY good batch of cookies. |

Al, isn't it great to be, once in a while, in the right place at the right time!
And, I believe Cliffs reference to Trigger is right on.

I have a bunch of pictures of that guitar but can't remember from which site I've copied them.

I BELIEVE that it's really "beige", but it has a VERY heavy treatment of gold glitter, making it appear gold in the right light. |

Temp, while you're digging around, see if you can find out the story regarding the color of JJW's slothead. |

Location: Scotland | From memory it was white or a very pale beige with almost no bursting. Al has the pics now and I think I gave him the 35mm negatives also, so I can't check. It might be worth checking youtube for JJW clips. He toured with that guitar in the UK in 86 with Guy Clark and they did at least 1 national TV appearance. |

I've had pics from Elias but I don't know the serial.
Could it be #38 ???

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | The pics showing the neck heel and the 13th fret on the goldtop suggest there may have been a possible repair on this guitar. The pics show a possible breakage line about midway up the neck heel, and the 13th fret shows what could possibly be a couple of plugged holes. Could be my imagination. |

And they say lawyers are ruthless. That was a shot through the heart. Especially since she wants to leave the house before the guitar arrives so they can take the VW in to the shop. |

Is he a member? |
