Probably runs $5-6K so fun to listen and watch, but not take out a second mortgage.

Listen carefully at 3:35...

3:35...I wrote that song. Can't believe the guy is ripping off my tune.

Nice guitar...I'd love to own a 12 fret sloped dread someday. Ain't got that kind of coin to drop on a guitar though.

I've been salivating over this guitar since I saw the first materials on it in January.

So have I. I really dislike the look of 14-fret Martin style dreads regardless of the Martin, Gibson, Guild, Taylor, etc… on the headstock. But make it a slope shouldered dread of the 14-fret or 12-fret/slothead variety and I start to salivate.

If Guild's Orpheum sounds this good, I am in serious trouble...

Uh oh...

Hey, Bill... Let's spend a little time with the Orphea at LMGIV. We'll see if you can stump me about models later.
