Subject: RE: Guitars, What Do You Play? II
Thanks, Roger.

I have mentioned this elsewhere, but for about 20 years I have been the proud owner of a 1947 Gibson L12 archtop acoustic guitar, serial #A877. I found it in a pawnshop in Cincinnati, and it has a wonderfully warm tone. It has been ideal for blues, jazz, folk, bluegrass, and country. I've never put a pickup on it, but it mic's real well, and the neck fits my hands perfectly. The guitar is in fine shape, but the case was lost in a flood about 2 years ago, so if anyone has a line on vintage cases, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks, y'all.
