Why???
Why are the Sho-Bud Permanents and Fingertips not selling for $15,000.00??? Same goes for the pre-1970 Emmons and others that are in good clean working order. Vintage Martin guitars of the same year are fetching $10k on any given Sunday... They say it's because of the desirability of a Brazilian rosewood guitar. My '65 Fingertip has got enough Brazilian Rosewood in it to build TWO Martin guitars...?

Jake - I say crow all you want! You love your guitar - tell the world. The forum is for all of us. There's a few who like to think because they post so often their voices are more important. They're not. You want to keep talking about your guitar? I, for one, am happy to see it.
Mostly Pre-1970 guitars.
It's a gorgeous guitar, with gorgeous tone.
But it weighs like a boat anchor and has a reputation for playing clunky.
So modern guitars are lighter and have a reputation for playing better.
On the plus side, if this is your kind of axe, it's affordable.

2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects
