Location: Sunshine State, Australia | I'm thinking of MAYBE... getting my hands on a shallow bodied, cutaway centre hole O for performing. Not too keen on taking my expensive and awesome wood box to gigs where people are drinking with unbridled enthusiasm. Anybody got anything they're thinking of moving on to a new home/continent? I'm not interested in a Celibacy or AppleSauce. |

I thought my '05C was the guitar of my dreams and a keeper, but I didn't hesitate to sell it when this particular 'wood box' came along. (Y'know, the old one in, one out routine... )

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | There is a down side to having such a special guitar. I get really positive comments about its plugged in sound, and other musos want to do their set with it. It got a bit silly after a while and I became VERY selective as to who could play it. If I suspected the 'applicant' had over imbibed, he had no chance. I've put a few people's noses out of joint by saying 'no', but hey... It will belong to one of my kids one day. Hence the 'feeling the water' about an SSB 'O' for general performances. Keep the Maton for 'special' performances. |

Location: Sydney, Australia | None of my kids took up guitar (despite my urging and offers to teach). My nephew is in line to get my stuff as he (a) plays guitar, (b) lusts after one of my Adamai and (c) already has my first Ovation (Legend 1117). |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | Nothing to do with being 'off topic'. I just find it a little offensive when people assume that, just because their kids didn't turn out like they'd hoped, that they can say the same about mine. End of rant. |

Expression of interest - shallow cutaway Balladeer/Legend anyone?
