As you know, I am one of your fans and haven't seen any of your guitars I didn't like, but this one is truly remarkable in its looks. Can't wait to hear what it sounds like.

otis1960: A few years ago I wrapped similarly-sized apples, onions, and potatoes in foil, and offered the bucket to visiting 'Trick or Treaters' to take a pick. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:02 GMT
