Location: SE Michigan | Ahhh...I could tell by that look in your eyes, you were hooked. You actually made up your mind the first time you saw it. So how does it sound? I can't wait to try it.
Name the dog seven, for the near seven hundred bucks she cost you.
congrats

Location: south east Michigan | Yep... It was a done deal as soon as I saw it. I figured that between the state of mind I was in and the chance availability, it was one of those "just meant to be" things.
Brian... I drove by your house saturday but your truck was gone. I'll bring it this weeks practice. If you lighten your hand on the Adamas just a tad, I think the Koa T will keep up. |

Is the epaulet inlaid or just glued on? Wonder if you could retrofit a regular 'T this way? |

| Congratulations Brad!
I too am waiting on my now one of two that I am currently blessed with, and left with after the fire sale..
and is being drop-shipped via Alpep! Thanks Al!!
looks like the Q is going to Thierry(guigite) in France as soon as he returns from holiday, and as soon as I can locate a 9158 or 8158 to ship it to him in that's worthy of an Adamas.... and I am watching the other e-bay auction, since Miles has apparently sold the one he has/or had.. :(
Thanks for the offer on the Vintage Brown one Chris, it is in good condition, but couldn't see sending it to another member in a case that completely did not match the guitar.
I have a natural deep contour lx balladeer on the way, and it will be the partner to my 69 1115, not a bad duo... and gas has had too firm a hold on me for a while... and I should be happy and enjoy the ones I have, instead of worrying about the ones that I don't.
but even paying for that, I still raised over 3k for mom with a lot of help from my friends here.
THANK YOU!!!!!!
waiting on the sound of Brown from CT... but Al says they're back-ordered by about 2 weeks now since all the Big box stores bought almost all of them out, at ridiculously low prices, and are continuing to list them at $1100 or better. :rolleyes: hey it's the American Way right?
congratulations on the New Elite, Most at first glance will think it's an Adamas... I like the T with the Epi. and I'm sure it's sweeeeeeeeeet!

[I got one coming anyway [Big Grin] ] you did call Al right? as always he had the Jersey...
"you can't refuse my offer" price.. just like it fell off a truck... :D
and believe me, as bad as he was feeling the other day.... He had the Brando rasp and wheeze down pat.
this is the one on the way to me:

Location: south east Michigan | This will be our third Mini-Schnauzer. We really like the breed.
He will have a name by the end of the day.
My wife has the final say on this ones name. So far her top to favorites are Fender and Ovie.

Location: Boise, Idaho | My inlaws had them. Two of them would ride in the motor home, which they would park backwards in our driveway when they came to visit. People would walk down the sidewalk past the front of the motorhome and the dogs would jump up on the driver's seat and put the front paws on the steering wheel to bark at them. About half the time they'd set off the air horn and scare the crap out of the people. Smart dogs, but they can get way too spoiled. |

Location: south east Michigan | Well... the folks in the merger department down in Scottsdale are going to hoist a victory toast over this one. They will look back on this as the defining moment of completion in the merger.
Yes I... Slipkid of the OFC... has a dog named FENDER.
It came down to 4 names and I told my wife I'd go with whatever she liked best. I do like it. It has a cool nickname type feel to it.
I guess I'll have to sell the ol' Breadwinner and buy a Strat. |

Don't know about the dog names, though. Ovie sounds like a dog prone to produce too many puppies.
And Fender... well, it reminds me of...
Clark: Hi officer, what's the problem?
Motorcycle Cop: Get out of the car!
[Clark exits from the car]
Clark: I don't think I was speeding. Was a weaving or something?
Motorcycle Cop: Shut your mouth! You know, if I wasn't wearing this police uniform, I'd split your skull with the back of this revolver faster than you can say, "police brutality!"
Clark: Well whatever I did, officer, I'm sure I can explain...
[the motorcycle cop forcibily takes Clark by the arm and leads him to the rear of the car, which has a dog leash still tied to it]
Motorcycle Cop: Explain this, you SOB!
Clark: Oh my God... You can't think I'd do this on purpose? Look... I tied him to the rear bumper while I was packing the car. It was very confusing. I must have forget he was still tied up back there. I'm very sorry, I feel terrible.
Motorcycle Cop: How do you think that little dog feels?
Clark: Look, I told you I was sorry. It really was an accident.
Motorcycle Cop: Well, I guess I can buy that, sir. You know I had a pooch like this when I was a kid.
[both Clark and the motorcycle cop look sorrowfully at the empty road behind them]
Motorcycle Cop: Poor little guy. Must have kept up with you for a mile or so. Tough little mutt. |
