My 12 string is kind of like that. Something about that old Guild grabbed me the first minute I touched it. I often comment that my playing doesn't justify me owning it, but it is mine and nobody gets it from me. I am still looking for THAT 6 string to go with it. Not that Dan Milner AKA Liam's Brother hasn't been helping me to try and find it. That gobshite (LOL) emails me every so often and says "Mick, you have got to see this baby". He then gives me a link to an Elderly or Mandolin Bros. vintage axe for sale. He almost got me on a black Martin out of the custom shop with classical tuners. It was a beautiful thing and I was about to have him check it out for me (It was at Mandolin Brothers, I do the same for him at Elderly) when he reported it sold. Thank Gawd...........I really wasn't prepared to spend 3 grand, but I might have held up a gas station for that one. It is my considered opinion that he is trying to get even for the huge amount he had to spend on a Brazilian Rosewood Martin at Elderly that I checked out for him. hahahahahahahahahaha

All the best,

Big Mick
