Once upon I time I owned #006, but I let her go.
So now I have been blessed with #017, and I will try to hang-on to it.
Y'all know all about these things, so I don't think that there is much to add.
I just wanted to brag.




Thank You John. I am Happy

I would never brag like that. My post would be MUCH longer!

Those are great guitars. Hopefully, like you, I'll manage to snag another some day,

Congrats!

Location: SoCal		I have no need or even no real desire for more guitars than I already have. But if I had the cash, and the opportunity came up, I'd get both a K1111 and a Josh White RI. Both steller instruments.......

That was my Feeling.
I really have more guitars than I need, but I had to keep that one in the OFC.
(These were really made for us, weren't they?)
This was most likely my only chance to ever grab another one of these after I sold #006.

I won't be "saving" this one...
I will be Playing it, although I doubt I will be taking it outside until Spring.
But it is sitting next to me in a stand... And I have taken it downstairs to the Lobby.
This guitar is quite loud when playing it while walking down the hallway.??
(I live in a large, 5 story, converted Ramada Inn)
Thanx for all of the congratulatory notes.
