This guitar was sold to me by lovely lady in Texas who tells me that when there were tornadoes, she'd put this redhead in the bath tub. I don't know where she hid ... |

Willa (gone wild indeed) Who are you, and what have you done with our once sane Willa?!?!?
Can't see the guitar...have to wait 'til I get home (workplace blocks the ning site [something to do with the "social networking" wording, I'm sure]). AAARARRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!
This isn't the 1681, is it? |

I'm still on the honeymoon with #66 that I got from Stephen. We don't have tornadoes here, but mine stays in the basement anyway, with the rest of them. |

Willa,
That's a excellent guitar you have there. Maybe one of these gatherings we can all swap and talk.
Just as soon as the New Owners get their Corporate Crap together and invite us back! |

My guitar skills DO NOT, in any way, match my photographic abilities, but boy, do I have sore fingers!
Michael sold me my first 12'er, a STUNNING CL that I LOVE, but she is a challenge for me to play, and you should have seen me trying to TUNE her this afternoon! Thank you again, MM.
My house is a wreck ... guitar boxes everywhere, and me sitting in bluejeans amidst the rubble, playing, playing, playing ... I'm not answering the door (except for the delivery guys, and then I meet them on the porch), so don't anyone come over until I'm finished playing ...
Wait till Patch gets back from vacation and reads what's been going on, lol.

Willa It was all Lovehandles I tell ya! I couldn't find my reading glasses, so I had to make it bold so I could read it.
I'm THRILLED for you Willa! If we get enough 47s here in NJ, we can compete with Povation. I've got one as well. Simply beautiful guitars! |

The only puppy I have left that I had considered selling was a limited edition 1995 Taylor with Brazilian back and sides - only 50 made. But after much deliberation,I think I will keep that one for another 10 years ;) As for the O's, someone has already put dibs on it ;) |

Brad, I feel exactly the same way...its the only way to be...
But never fear, our dear lady here was on the phone talking to me and buying a nice little Fender Acoustasonic 30 on eBay at the same time....I'm not sure if I've ever done that....lol, she's quick...she's got some nice gits for sure. |
