It might look similar to the others but, it's obviously far superior.

Looks like a mixture of Rye grasses and Fescue, Phil. Bound to be some sort of vehicle back there too...

Isn't it great that we can take a thread about a fabulous guitar and turn it into a study of agriculture and southern living. :D

Don't forget the cultivator and the spreader, the baler and the disker. Most likely Allis Chalmers or Wheel Horse.
Oh, by the way, nice guitar. :)

Nice Guitar--

In Portland Oregon, they wouldn't let you mow that lawn...
They'd declare it "Open Space" and fine you for killing the blackberries, milkweed and poison oak.

Jeff, hope you didn't pluck it yet. They turn a really pretty blue when they're ripe.

"Let me just say, to me, the 2nd greastest mass psychosis in human history is . . . the Lawn."

I believe the "Lawn" started as a means to see the enemy approaching the estate or keep. Having tall fields was definately out due to the amount of cover and the fire hazard so manicured grass was in.

This was of course negated with the advent of the Trebuchet. Which was negated with the use of Gun Powder, which is comprised of Carbon, sulpher and...

This is exactly how threads should develop. I admire you're historical perspective on this matter, Woodrow. Though I find high grass keeps the rednecks at bay... They're afear'da snakes lurking about unseen...

This was once a hayfield which I'm allowing to go fallow... then feral to become wooded. Over 6 years, it has been interesting to watch the transition.

Beal, I've though about goats... But then, so has Breeze... and goats can't eat when they are running for their life...

.... as for the guitar, it sounds as sweet as an azure summer sky. The neck profile, a shallow "C", makes the 1-11/16" nut width very tolerable. I do see how the 1-3/4" would be the cat's tuckus.

It is posts like this that separate the Randoms from the Sequentials, the The Concrete from the Abstracts, The Type A's from the slackers...


I admire Jeff because:
A) He has an Engineering mind and a boyish imagination.

B) He is generous (Wooden Roundback Tour, et al).

C) If I kiss up enough I might get to borrow one of his cool guitars...

Either; There are two types of people in the world, those who divide people into groups and those who don't.
OR; There are three types of people in the world, those who understand binary math and those who don't.

This is all we really need ponder.

Very nice pics. Thanks for sharing. The 47RI is one of the best sounding and best looking guitars I know. Currently it's my favorite.
