I think that's the one I almost bought. I'm glad it went to the hands of someone who appreciates what they're holding. Very very nice. Enjoy hydrargyrum Advanced Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 242 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 1:56 pm:    Well, I don't think it is too premature to announce that this guitar is on its way back to me. I sold it to a fellow club member at one point, and he was kind enough to contact me when he decided in turn to sell it, to see if I might want it back. I didn't have to think long . . . Now I just need to endure the waiting. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 4931 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, March 30, 2007 - 6:06 pm:    Congrats! hydrargyrum Advanced Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 243 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Sunday, April 01, 2007 - 1:50 pm:    Thanks Dave. I am particularly excited it has been upgraded with essence electronics by the previous owner, so it will be like a whole new guitar for me. I have been thinking about maybe replacing the knobs with wood and some other changes when my financial situation settles down. hydrargyrum Advanced Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 251 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, April 10, 2007 - 6:26 am:    Here's a new shot of the family: lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 2297 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Tuesday, April 10, 2007 - 7:22 am:    Kevin: What kind of guitar is that?

Play her in good health! hydrargyrum Advanced Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 260 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Friday, April 27, 2007 - 9:14 am:    Thanks for the kind words Mike. You were correct about the essence upgrade really opening up the voice on the guitar. Best of Luck! Kevin
