Location: Midland, MI | Sure, sure, I recieved some info on a place that actually has one in stock. And now I'll not be able to buy one (or much of anything anytime soon...more on that at a later date).
Anyway, PM me if you want the info. Someone deserving should get it. :) |

Although, in an earlier thread he did mention he'd like a palm cutout uke. Personally, *I* would love a palm cutout uke, but unless it runs about (checks pockets) free dollars and no cents, it ain't gonna happen for this kid. :rolleyes: |

Well, sure it looks cool. I don't know how to play a uke, so what the heck would I care what it *sounds* like? :)
Taylor? Isn't that a suburb of Detroit? Yeah, the locals call it Taylortucky! What would I want to buy a whole town for? How would I string it? ;) |

The National went for $3150. I put my bid in for 500 more than I thought it should go for and still didn't get it. I was considering having a 5 string neck made for it, man what was I thinkin????
There also was a style 2 plectrum on fleabay and it got pulled tonight 2 days short. Two gone and missed them both!
Ah well, the fun is in the hunting for the waskelly weaselly banjer wabbit. |

For those of you NOT from Michigan, Taylor is one of the southern Detroit suburbs and has the reputation of having many residents that originated from southern states and rural areas.

Location: Midland, MI | Well, ok, I'm not getting it and W2 has passed. If anyone else is interested in this apparent rarity, here's the deal:
I know of another store here who has one in stock. The store is called ABC Music. You can talk to Dayton at (808)
593-2575 and (808) 593-8688 FAX. His email address is dayton@abc-music.com, but I would try calling or faxing him first. He's more likely to get that message first!
That was from Neil at Island Guitars in Hawaii. Wish I could snag it, but |

Location: 6 String Ranch | When I was there we never made one. They say that the marketing department reads this board so you're in trouble now. They'll probably think it's a good idea and introduce one for the next NAMM. Of course it will be made in Koreah or Chiney. |

I hope it's going to be better than this curious little thing:
