Location: closely held secret		Al's got a nice looking 6751LX (Balladeer). A demo but at a nice price.


I picked up a 6758 Elite LX from Sigler (be sure to watch the Matt Smith demo!). I offered them $950 and they took it (I should have started lower!!!). My CL12 was too heavy for me and I love the LX necks. I'm very happy with it.

Woody, I didn't know the contour bowls came in mid-depth, that's news to me... I will also keep the alpep 12 in mind as I continue my search.

I don't care who they are, I wouldn't let them take a magic marker and write their name on the top of my guitar.. :) ..but, I imagine it would be cool to get a photo of it for posterity and then wipe it off before it sticks to the finish...

Others can correct me if this is wrong but I believe the contour bowl only comes in one depth - it just seems to be in between the deep and mid-depth bowls.

Which is the process by which it stops being an instrument and becomes a collectable.......?

Sad fate really, for a guitar.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		Someday, it may very well become a guitar again and I had him sign it in a spot that would not interfere with playing in this likelihood. In the meantime, I'm using an EA-58 Viper for 12 duties.

I think GC would sign virtually anything... he signed something for me once, it took up an enormous amount of space on the page... but it will only really be collectible when he is gone anyway..

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		Hearing him talk about his Mom and the factory was worth every bit as much of his time as the signature and pics.

I met him at a concert in gusman hall in miami, he had a beard then and jeff dayton was still the band.. that's the last time i saw him live, he seems to have aged considerably since then..

Location: Upper Left USA		Contour bowl is just Contour Bowl. Fits in the Mid depth case like a... guitar.

Contour LX anything is the way to go!

Location: closely held secret		Ah. I was just going by what was listed on his site. NAMM's probably been taking a lot of his time.

In that case, congrats, PEZ! Looks like a nice one!

Location: Nashville TN.		Its really sweet.
My first acoustic 12
I came to the conclusion that the 6751LX is a deal
at even average street price.
