You guys are usually pretty good at spotting them on eBay, and this one struck me as a very nice guitar. |

Stupid economy. :( :rolleyes: :cool: |

| Congrats, Alan, nice get. I always thought those redwood-top Collectors were among the best looking. Striking figure. |

Lol!
I had one of those, an SWMBO, that is...and I dutifully obeyed...didn't stop her from being drunk each night and divorcing me when I cut off the booze money.
Now SWMBO is my daughter and my cat...they tag team me. My son and the tom observe bemused as the eternal dance maintains its iron grip on our male psyches, even after the SWMBO becomes the the ex-SWMBO. |

| Careful, Alan. TJ will offer you something inexpensive, maybe even a free sample. Once he's got ya hooked the prices go up, and ya keep needing more and better to satisfy the cravings. Before you know it you'll be selling your plasma for that next fix...er, guitar. ;) |

Nice but still prefer the multi hole...

Location: Atlanta, Ga | OMG, what an unbelievably beautiful guitar! I'm going to trade in a guitar today to get a C2078 custom elite. This beautiful redwood guitar is giving me second thoughts. Maybe I should hold out. I'm a huge fan of redwood tops, great for fingerpicking. You're fortunate to own that baby. |

Granted the 01C makes a nice hanger. |
