Beautiful looking guitar Ron. Great condition for a 22 year old instrument.

Wow, lovely rosette...and bridge wing inlay.  Nice.  Bet she plays nice and open with 20+ years on the top!

Cheers,
B.

It used to be my hands down number one guitar. I have been very fortunate the last couple of years to snag some nice new instruments, and tend to favor them for playing as I am trying to get to know each of them.

I took the L out of the case a couple of days ago. The first time I played it in a couple of months. It still rocks! This box is just a wonderful example of an instrument that sings, and rumbles, all at the same time. To say that it is reverberant is iinadequate. Power and grace.

Ron, she is a real beauty!!!  I love the older style rosettes and detail. 

How about sending it to PEI to get a little play time!!!!  I mean, we are hosting the ECMA's and I'm sure there is a musician or two that could really appreciate a fine instrument like that!!!    :GRN>

Thanks for sharing,

Ron,

If you have a set of photos, I'd like to add them to the historic web page I'm starting to populate at

http://randyrick.us/guitars/history/index.htm

I'd be glad to get a narrative and mention your name/webpage (or not) as it suits you.

Randy, I will get some better photos and send them to you in the next few days.

I was in Charlottetown on Friday, attending the ECMA (East Coast Music Association) show and had a blast. PEI is always hospitable!
