Location: 6 String Ranch | This is the first thin line pickup elite. Fishbreath pickup and op-24. natural finish, normal black and white binding, 2 piece epaulettes, oil finish neck, walnut elite f/b, deep noncutaway. No I don't have pictures but it's 9.9/10 condition, just 14 years old with very few miles. Hard case.
Not cheap but reasonable. Send me an email if interested, we can talk. |

Location: SoCal | This is the first guitar I have gotten with a sleeve (3) of Titleist Pro V1x balls.
Doubt if they will be # 7's :p
Should be here Tuesday. |

Tony, looking forward to pics! |

No, just a regular sleeve of #8s. I kept the 7s. |

Location: SoCal | It arrived today...complete with a Transportation Security Administration "Notification of Baggage Inspection".
Bill, it isn't a 9.9 of 10 - it is at least a 12 of 10!!
Everything about the guitar is amazing - appearance, voice, playability.
I had to compare it with the 1537...subtle differences, a little more bass here, a little more treble there BUT I PUT THIS GUITAR AT A PAR WITH THE 1537.
Blasphamy? No...some of the guys will have a chance to play it.
Not sure what a 1718 is supposed to sound like...this one is a winner.
Will try it plugged in tomorrow.
Bill, label says Garris underneath the 1718-X and above the serial number. Is there a story behind this?
Pictures - maybe tomorrow if I have time.
:) :D :) :D :) :D :) |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Garris is Larry Garris, runs Corner music in Nashville. He's a good friend and said, why don't you guys use a thin line saddle, the guys would buy them. I said if we do it needs to be in a stors so I made the first one with his name on the lable. We did a few more, not sure what happened to them. The collector's came along after this soon and had the thin line so I think te momentum went there.
Larry is still there and loves to play golf. |

Thanks...always fun to find out the history.

Location: Boise, Idaho | Golf story. I was playing at a tough course up in the mountains with a guy who was worse than me. He kept losing Pro Vs in the woods. After about 15 holes his friend asked him, "Why does a lousy golfer like you use such good golf balls?" I think the guy actually thought the Pro Vs were improving his game. |
