All I can say is wow. Aside from some tarnished chrome, it's in wonderful shape. No nicks or dings at all. And it plays itself it seems. THe difference in scale is quite noticeable.
There will be video of this one for sure.

The blanket, that is. Surprised you haven't worn a hole in it yet, you're using it so much.
You must've got one helluva redundancy package.
Don't mind me. I'm just jealous. |

And hurry up with that video... |

Location: Chicago | Wow, I am struck by the BACK of the guitar. The "heel" of the neck as it joins the body is beautiful and, well... I've never seen a guitar "sculpted" quite like it. |

Location: Jet City | Thanks everyone.
To answer the "where the %&#@" questions, well, all I can say is Karmic forces must've been at work.
I read through posts yesterday (including the UltraGP article), then realized I was still on a bottom feeding quest for a delay so I popped on to our local Craigslist, and not 3 ads down was "RARE OVATION ELECTRIC GUITAR"
Well that's a no brainer... click... HOLY %$&@!
The ad didn't say Ultra or GP anywhere. He was selling it a small fraction of what they have been selling for. I fear my T-60 needs to go now though to offset what came out of the treasury. OH WELL!
Beal, you're probably right. Going back to the UKII has been the story of my life. I'll have fun growing bored of it though. It does play quite well. |

Years ago my Dad had an Army disposals store and when I was a youngster, around 1959 or so I can remember he bought some ex Australian Army 42WLA Harley Davidsons.
They were brand new in crates.
I think he had a half dozen or so.
Like to have one now.
