Subject: RE: Apollonio guitar on eBay
Well I do. I've played several Nick guitars, and have been very impressed by their clarity and volume. Almost bought one of his 12 strings about 8 years ago. It was touch and go, but he'd used Gibson Hummingbird appointments (not his usual design) and that's a visual look i was never keen on, so I passed on it. His 12s are exceptionally light and powerful sounding especially when tuned low. I've usually tuned mine wayyyy down to "B" (I put an octave on the 2nd pair!) and when I did this to Sandy Paton's Nick 12 string, it sounded like a freight train. Yup their fine instruments all right.
