| Well due to the lack of general funds my needs were satisfied through a trade with Mwoody. He got a fantastic Adamas 1 1587-8 and I got a great Hamer Artist flame maple
A beautiful Deacon 12 with a custom inlay neck from Jim Rickards collection of things
And a surprisingly great sounding 12 String Elite T (Stealth)
Only thing I need to let go for some cash is the Custom Baritone. but hey I was playing a real nice Taylor 814 last night..........I know I said it out loud.....but it was real nice, had some interesting inlay's and sounded great! and if someone wanted a Baritone unlike any other made They might trade it away from me for something like this straight up.
Going to be a good year for music, that's for sure. I have my feet into all kinds of projects. Just worried now about the day I have conflicting schedules. I will be in a bad spot having to make a choice, and possibly piss one of these guys off.
Anyway.... Keep moving the guitars around, it is our job. |

Ya don't know how many times I've wanted to pull the trigger for gits here and lose by a hesitant twitch. But I saw Keith's collection just prior to Smokey's Jam and knew that if he ever offered any I wanted that it's done deal.
One thing I've learned here is that if ya wait long enough, ya might just luck out!
Thanx for the 'grats! Just don't expect this one to be on the market any time soon.

Beggin, I wasn't looking for the D-18. I get an email from Kim that says "I know you don't need another one of these but........." It is a total refinish job, but still nice and it has the neck.
I also have no plans for anything else this year. We'll see how long that lasts. |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I'm working on a complicated trade/sell/buy right now. Considering how much shipping is involved, I'm not gonna jinx the deal by dropping details. When it's over and done, I'll give a full confession.
So far, the Ute should get to its new owner today, and my mm-68 mando will ship out with a 48-hour approval period today. It's what's coming that makes me nervous. Nothing super special, but special to me and worth enough to keep me nervous throughout the transit.
After that, with regards to trading/buying...well...someone has applied my brakes for me for the foreseeable future.  |

There have been a couple of unfortunate "outs" this year though. It'll swing back the other way again i'm sure. |

I do, however, have an OP-Pro Studio on the way from Al and a Fishman SoloAmp coming in as well. I've got an amp and some other gear that'll cover the Fishman (the OPPS got in under the radar).
Also I'm having my ES-137 Custom, uh, customized by the Obbligato Custom Shop (you can find 'em on Harmony Central or google their web-site). Michael Franklin is the engineer that does the work and he's done great work for me in the past. This time I'm having the Varitone™ circuit replaced by Obbligato's Turnstyle™ circuit and a piezo circuit added. That should be back by the end of March. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | When I first read this, I thought Beal might be commenting on the chain of In-N-Out Burgers in Southern California, the best fast foot hamburgers in the world. I've been eating them since the early 60's (store No. 2 was within a half mile of my parent's house) and in 1978, coincidently bought a house in San Dimas next to the mini-ranch owned by the founder, just after he passed away and his sons took over and began expanding the business significantly. They've spread to Vegas and St George UT, as well as into parts of Arizona. Can't wait for them to get to Colorado. |

| O's and A's..... all gone... :( the 1115 ships out Monday, and is already racked, stacked, and packed.
still have the "used to be a Turser" electric..
two nice loaners from members here:
M-862 Midi Balladeer Shallow Bowl from Slydog..along with my old Crate CA125 Acoustic amp I sold him years ago...
It's Alive! finally figured out the Charvel/Shadow unit...sorta... it's a slow signal compared to a Roland but it works... I think someone once said "latency from hell" steep learning curve on this thing at least for me.. wanna hear a guitar sound like a Hammond B3 Organ? voicings and string assignments and levels/signal strength on this are rough to figure out.. especially with just the quick start guide.. and really easy to make things sound REALLY BAD...and no other documentation or instructions... anyone have a manual for this thing? :confused:
and a gorgeous "MINT" 1763-4 from Iffy... just got it strung up tonight with a set of High tension composites.... awesome... just went through "Classical Gas" about 10 times... my playing sucks as usual, but the guitar sounds great.... now gonna try the other 8 or 10 songs I know. :rolleyes:
Thanks guys!

Just remember that that CA is a loaner. It's the only c-a-w classic I have. All I ask is that you leave the 'Classical Gas' in it when it comes back 'home'! So help me one of these days... I might learn my favorite song...  Enjoy, my friend!
TJ,

| Johnny, whenever you want it to come home, it will be there... Thank You Very, Very Much!!!!
I was amazed at the condition of the case when it got here, it's like new as well... and then I opened it up and was blinded by the finish on the guitar... Shiniest Cedar Top I've ever seen.... your spa treatment must be something else.
like the old commercial asks...
"What's your secret?"
again THANKS!

I posted this once before and am not sure if anyone tried my 'secret'.
I had tried mild soap/water, brand name cleaners, etc. One evening I was applying some Formby's Lemon Oil Treatment to a 1612-1 Custom Balladeer bridge (Riccardo is now the happy owner) when I noticed that I hadn't really cleaned the top well enough. Well, I just continued to finger-rub apply the FLOT to the top and was amazed at the cleansing action and depth of the renewed finish. I then just buffed the top until I saw no residual oil. As a final step I used Dunlop 65, which I find is not necessary; only as a quick rebuff after playing.
So my 'secret' is out again.
She can come 'home' when you get back on your feet/fingers/frets. I'm in no hurry. Just try to wear her out gently... 
BTW, I'd love to have ya post a plugged in audio if ya can. I never plugged her in since I just got into the amps. Your ol' Shen 60 was the power during the Sea Cow Serenade. Sweet.. thanx! |

Gems like these should stay this way for who knows how many more years because people like us now appeciate what they are. These represent Leo when he was still building for the CW crowd and a few R&R acts. The explosion of garage bands was still a few years away. Thanks for sharing the pic. |
