He is also compiling a list (with pictures) of the 47RI's. He has # 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19, 23, 24, 33, 34, 35, 42,and 47. As the owner of # 3, I wonder where are # 1 and # 2?? | ||

Production seems to be in the 50's (sn) but it might be in the 60's by now. I know where a couple are still available (as of yesterday), if interested. | ||

As a lucky owner of one of these instruments I can tell you that you will be very disappointed if you pass up the opportunity to own one. Who knows what the future will bring ... Dave | ||

Joined: March 2002 Posts: 15654 Location: SoCal | As I said a couple of weeks ago, I was in Phoenix and played (and tuned) almost all of Tup's guitars. Even with the high end Martins he has (and they are wonderful guitars), I kept coming back to his 47 of 47. They are that good.... | ||

Your gamble. We already know of a couple of dealers that took deposits and will be unable to deliver. | ||
