Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Anybody have any information on this model? It appears to be a regular EA68 with all the extra bling of the Book Elite. I saw a picture of one that Mr. O has or had in his collection, but haven't known of another. This is a model I would like to add to my stash if they're really out there in the marketplace. |

Location: Scotland | That's exactly what it is, an EA68 with book trim.
Here's a pic of the G-band NAMM booth taken from the Bose website. That's Mr Wong's book Viper I'm using. And his L1.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Thanks for confirming my suspicion. Not many are out there, so the hunt may be long and, if successful, expensive. |

They don't come up very often. I sold my regular book guitar to Mr. Dano in Toronto about 6-8 months ago. |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Do you think whoever wrote and recorded that badger theme song would find a spiritual home here?
I did note the link to the Bucky Badger website. My nephew has an athletic scholarship to the University of Wisconsin, and his 'sport' is serving as one of the Bucky Badger mascots. I reckon the weight of the outfit and the awkwardness of wearing it qualifies the wearers as athletes.
Temp, does your band cover that song? |

We thinking about covering these two though...

Bunny I found the link to terrier grooming on the Holding Back page quite appropriate. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Stephen, when I made contact with Mr. O last month just after hearing about his inventory purge, I was a bit late on grabbing his Viper Book, and he decided to keep his deep bowl Book. Vacations are tough on relieving GAS. |

Location: SoCal | I've heard that the best one ever to come out of the Mothership is in San Diego with Tony Calman. I was lucky enough to get a few pictures of it... they are in my gallery. Rumor has it that he also has one of the rare 12-string models.
