I don't have enough time to do that for this one. Besides, I've just convinced myself that I "need" a Duotone that I found a great deal on. This would be the other end of the spectrum. | ||

Of course, it might not always be like this. A few years ago, I prefered to own five $1,000 guitars over one $5,000 guitar. Don't you just love choices? | ||

Joined: January 2002 Posts: 14127 Location: 6 String Ranch | I saw it too. The saddle is probably original but has just been lowered from the bottom rather than the top which is how you have to do these ones. I don't need another Collings braz. I don't need another D18 either but I couldn't pass that one up. | ||
