John Pearse Bell Brass bridge pins, Gotoh gold 510 Contour tuners (18:1 ratio), Baggs Dual Source System. About 8 years old. Still my favorite.

Thanks, kind've what I was going for (even though I live in the north east, and that window looks out over a river, a bay, and Long Island sound in the distance). It's sort've what it feels like when I play it.

Lovely pic; :thumb good lighting...I like the florentine a lot...lots of room for your hand, even though you have to watch that "point" on the back...bit delicate!
Cheers, Chris

Wow, that is a beautiful guitar! :drool:

I've always wanted a florentine, but I couldn't find one back in '05 had to settle for the Venetian. Perhaps, I'll track one down someday....

Thanks. I just set up a tripod and took multiple shots at different combinations of f stops and shutter speeds at 200 and 400 ISO and chose the ones with the warmest color.

I also prefer the Florentine cutaway. Either that or the L models. The Venetian just doesn't seem to have as much visual personality to me (though I still wouldn't refuse one :nana_guitar).

(. . .hmm. . . never noticed the 2 knobs on the cabinet give the whole thing a bit of a "Jar Jar Binks" vibe :?) I need to have a :donut2 and a :coffee and think about that a bit.

Very nice guitar, I used to have a lefty C-05 that was a real sweetheart.

P.S. I like the chip carving on the cabinets, is that something you did? I've done quite a bit of chipping.

Thanks everybody. I was glad I could still catch things when I did.

The chip carving came with the pantry. I used to do carving and chip carving, but haven't been able to find my tools since having work done on the apartment. Hoping I just misplaced them as opposed to having them "lifted."

Hoping to eventually purchase an old C-05 or a new L-05 in the near future.
