Location: Midland, MI | I almost took on a client in Plattsburgh about four years ago. Then I found out the business was owned by the friend of a family friend. Did some inquiring. Didn't go for it. Wish it would've worked out, that's a beautiful part of the country.
Cold, though. ;) |

Location: Bluffton, SC | Ahhh...we approach it from a different angle. We went out and got us a Bristol Myers Squibb plant. It doesn't contain the weather but, with a couple of samples, it doesn't bother us a whole lot either!
With a 140" average winter snowfall, you gotta figure something out. |

OK, the Man in Black didn't sing Cicero, but hey, it fit. ;) I've been a little bit of everywhere.
My wife's family had/has a presence in/around Schenectady. An aunt of hers recently moved to one of the Finger Lakes; hoping to get out there for a visit (she's a ton of fun)...especially if they happen to have a daysailer on hand. :) I used to work with a guy from Albany...he was a hoot, told me all about the best places to go spelunking upstate. Although his stories were pretty good, they were also pretty repetitive (as in, he told them over and over). For the life of me, I can't remember a single spot he said was good for caving. :\ |

Location: Bluffton, SC | The Finger Lakes are beautiful. Wine country. Rolling hills, stunning, picturesque lakes, wineries, restaraunts - you cannot go wrong. Two summers ago we got a group together and went to one of the wineries, sat on the lawn killing a whole bunch of bottled grapes watching Larry Carlton perform.
Do yourself a favor and get there. There's a guy who owns a large sailboat and you can sail, drink and eat - let me know and the wife and I'll meet you there with a couple of guitars!
Spelunking? You're on your own, brother. ;) |

There have been quite a few Cobalt W597's for sale recently. Even a lefty has come up once or twice. Keep an eye out here or on the bay. Hopefully, there is still one hanging around.
Or you can get my C778LX-NEB here . :D |

Location: Florida | Hey Fishman, I just received a brand new W597-4G on 10/5/05 that was ordered back in July. I like the sound of my 1981 Adamas II better so I've decided to dump the W597. Interested? |

Location: closely held secret | a-fan - when trying to sell a geetar, it is best to avoid phrases like "I like the sound of my 1981 Adamas II better" and "I've decided to dump the W597".
Just a tip. |

Location: UPSTATENY | Well,
I decided to hold off for a while on the adamas, as there is alot of new stuff coming along from ovation these days, I did however pickup a stopgap guitar, a 2003 collectors edition that was on ebay for 675.00, looks like a very nice guitar and that should hold me for a short while, along with the Yairi that I have I should be ok...I am however, still looking for the right deal and I would like to thank all for their help and offers....I will let you know how the 2003 sounds and works out... |

It's good to hear from a dude from the North Country area. I was once a resident of Plattsburgh (during my college years), and had lots of great times during my time there.
Peace!
