Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | Thank You So Much Guys!!
I can't tell you how much I Love this Guitar!!! It is just like playing butter! Soft and smooth!! And the sound is really Incredible! (they all are really...)
Now to get the 50th Anniversary Bearclaw in, and I think the Ark is Full, or cave... This is a nice Collection of ones that I really Love, and should keep me busy into Infinity (ummm right!).
I do have a couple of Questions about the 47-RI, they have the strings actually hitting the head piece, laying on top of the wood, is that correct?? Won't that dig into the wood over time?? I don't like the way it is strung (OCD), not neat enough, so I am going to put new strings on it once I watch a couple of videos on how to re-string a slot head (this is my very first one!!), so I need to learn how to do that correctly!
I think I need to invest in a camera next, my iPad doesn't cut it, and I need something that will take better indoor pictures of my Babies!!
Thank You again for sharing my Excitement!! You Guys are the Best!!! |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Yeah Nancy, looking at the D and G strings... That ain't right.
When you wind the strings onto the post they should be "stacking" outward.
Kinda like this (I know this is nylon, but it is just stolen off the web0
And that is pretty sloppy on the lower strings.
Okay, here is one of mine (although I don't own this guitar anymore)
See? Stack the strings outward and they don't hit the wood as much.
They will still hit the wood a bit, but that should not cause too much damage in our lifetimes.

LMAO!!!!!!! Only if you take some good pictures of her for me!! Red Blanket Ones!! 
You know, for once, just once, I wasn't biting off my nails with this one being shipped!! Adamas are fun! You don't have to worry about cracking the tops, or waiting 24 hours before being able to take it out of the case!!! I did let the box come down to room temp, but it was in the 40's here, so nice out, and then I took her right out and had to hold her!!! Then I was up half the night playing it!! LOL!!! This one is going to be like the Millennium, one of those that you just naturally grab, because they feel like part of you!! |

I don't own a scale, I go by if I can zip my pants, I am fine, if not, go buy some new pants! . I only have one mirror in the house too, non of them work right, they all have this fat, old Lady stuck in them, so I don't like them.. |

I know, I kept checking too, I think we are all sad, it is hard to be cheerful when someone that we love is not doing well. But for her sake too, we have to keep going, because if she is well enough to get on here and read, we need to have something happy or funny for her here, that is important. |

You can never have to many red guitars you'll just have to figure out what order to hang them in Bearclaw in the middle flanked by two redbursts maybe |

Thank you!!!! You will understand this 2Wheel, I don't know the techie terms, and I wouldn't remember them if I did, but you know how a '76 Custom Legend 1119 sounds compared to a regular Legend??? There is just that (*) un-name-able, but definite edge to the tone of the CL? That subtle, but real difference in the sound when you just strum it? That is the difference between the 1187 and 1687, not allot of difference, but that subtle tone that, undeniable difference, in favor of the 1187 (to me), it is like the Custom Legend, versus the Legend. I don't know what it is, but it is there. I don't know if the lack of anything in the body, like the electronics makes any difference, doesn't disrupt the sound waves, or what, I am not an engineer, but the Acoustic Only has that edge. The 1687 is louder, but the 1187 has the edge on sound and action. I can definitely see now why they are so sought after, so rarely found, and held so Dear!
And I know that probably makes no sense to anyone else, but you are a CL fan too, and I know you will understand it! |

It's all wheel drive, but I think some of the deeper parts of the Pacific could be a problem.
