The GX-200 reminds me of a GP. |

Location: Scotland | Sometime in the early/mid-80's Takamine did an acousic Flying V. The one I played was owned by Nick Lowe, and it was crap. Nick however is a national treasure and one of the best English songwriters ever (along with Shane McGowan, Kirsty Mccoll & Boo Herwerdine) Memory may be playing tricks here, but I think I rememeber Dave Edmunds with a Takamine acoustic Explorer, the single was "Queen Of Hearts" by Hank Devito, with Carlene Carter singing backup. Those days are somewhat blurred |

Location: Scotland | Al, can't remember, it would be nice see some of that stuff on DVD. Dave Edmunds was playing the exlplorer/V thing, but I'm sure it was owned by Nick. Nick owned at least 2 or 3 Hamer Basses & I know he had an 8-string & a 12 string. It's been a while, I must make the effort to get back in touch with some of those guys. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I don't think Tak ever made an Explorer acoustic. Danny Ferrington did, maybe it was one of those? Or a custom job. |
