Someday, we have to get together and A-B that thing with my Ute. Then of course, we have to clone each of them so we can both go home happy.  | ||

| Vic , The ankle 'dis-alignment' happened at the Smokey's Jam. I pulled the trigger on the 1680 yesterday AM (Thanx fugot!) . TJ was getting an itchy finger even though he's got three adoptees on the way. :rolleyes: :D Patch, There were, I think, three UTEs at the jam. To my ears only one sounded comparable to the 1680.  When Keith pulled out his 1680 with all that walnut and sweet sounds, I was gullet hooked! As to A-B-etc., just get your yankee arse down here for some winter time sunshine at one of the jams!  ;) Richard, Yepper 1 3/4" nut. The ankle is still tender and prone to swelling. But with the 'boot' I can make adjustments. I have put most of my weight on it, but no steps/walking for another two weeks. | |||

If they sound better than my UTE, you may have just planted a Floridian "Moth's In The Wallet" Curse on me. (Scientific name Touristae gohomeabrokus) I may well be doomed to be trolling the internet some day, spot one of these guitars, and you know what happens then? Patch, There were, I think, three UTEs at the jam. To my ears only one sounded comparable to the 1680.  That's what.  | ||

(He'll drop from the jungle canopy any time now I'm sure.) Patch, I have owned two UTE's, with the second one sounding better than the first, but neither sounded near as good as the 1680. This is the OFC version of a rip tide isn't it? The same rules apply: 1) Don't try to swim against it. 2) Just relax and tread water. 3) Lean back and try not to despair as the current carries your soggy, sorry butt relentlessly out to sea. 4) Maybe you'll find a desert island (preferably sans Gilligan et al.) with no internet connection acting like some kind of malicious, monetary hoover converting money you don't have into guitars (admittedly very nice ones) you don't need. 5) If only there was a buxom, scantily-clad super-model-wannabe life-guard (females only need apply) jogging down the beach in an Oh-So-TV-Like fashion who could drag me safely to shore and administer mouth-to-mouth. (Why else would I be holding my breath?) And save me from this GASeous torture. What the heck right? If I'm pipe-dreaming for an affordable 1680, I might as well let the fantasy (and the allegory) run amuck. I swear; Iffy, Trader Jim, and Dweezil are gonna be the end of me. SWMBO is gonna carve it on my tombstone: The doofus bought one too many, and I couldn't take it anymore! SIGH! Time to gear up and go stalking. This one could take a while.  | ||

Originally posted by Trader Jim: Jim, you're correct. I believe it's that discreet but elegant gold around the top. I definitely need to take some better pics when it gets here. These pics are way too light. I think it has a suspension ring to the bowl  | |||

Good Idea Mike. Here's a better pic of the one that started all that lust brewing in Iffy's head. You can almost see him thinking, "how can I sneak this into one of my cases?"  | |||
