Location: Paris/France		Hi,

I'm back from the 3rd edtion of the French "Guitar Picker's Association" gathering in east of France.
Tom, Guiguite, Dude and Arnaud were there and these 3 days have been purely magic for us all!!!

With the help of the GPA and all the guitarists that I'd like to thank one more time for their kindness, we've made the greatest gathering of O's ever seen in France.
You can imagine my emotion in front of all these beauties.
My heart was beating so fast that my eyes were a little bit wet when we've taken these shots...

Some of the greatest models ever made by the Factory were there together.
2 FD-14, 14 Adamas I and II, 3 Slotheads (pre-owned by Marcel Dadi, 1 CL-30, 1 CL, 1 Patriot, 2 #47-RI, 4 or 5 Country Artist, 2 Utes, 1 Josh White, some Collector's, an outstanding Preacher ;) , a UK-II etc...

I'm waiting for more pics and I'll do my best to post them as soon as possible but how could I resist to share these moments with you immediately.

J :)

The dobro-like is a "Del Vecchio" guitar.

Location: Paris/France		You're right JeffreyD and I don't think there's a 1537 in all France!!

If someone would like to repair this regrettable mistake, I'd be glad to give you my personal postal adresse in France...
An original Slothead will be greatly appreciated too!! :D :D :D

It is one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen and also one of the best sounding 1537's I have ever played or owned.

....and then you play it and all that shyness disappears. WAHHHHUUUUMP

Location: Upper Left USA		Dude's Preacher in the middle of the second pick. It has the logo on the pickguard where you told me to put it. I think the same veneer as the GFKAV.
Its one of the two solids represented.

I am guessing that the 1881 that I sent to Arnaud is in the back left of the 1st pic. Hard not to see that beautiful deep red finish.

Tom was so proud to show this beauty to all of us and I had so much emotion to hold it in my hands.
It's without any doubt the only Josh White in France.

Some famous French professional guitar players were there with us during these 3 days and they have been really impressed by the sound of this old lady!!

I decided to put it on the first row because she deserved this place... :)

Actually, it is now Arnaud's Adamas :D and it is wonderful to see it up on stage being played instead of stuck in the case hiding in the closet!

and I agree....I think it had a fantastic sound.

Now I just need to send you some pics of the beautiful tobacco burst 1537 that is softly calling out your name :rolleyes: .
