Greetings from Paris, France y'all... Yes, I'm the guy who bought it -- and also bought FWS6's X-500 the same week. Lark Street Music is a great source. Buzzy Levine also sold me a fantastic JS Award that belies everything JS is reported to have said about this model. Thanks for all the learned (and not so learned but enthusiastic) comments. Yes, the guitar is dirty: lots of sweat and tobacco... Some TLC will be in order. I do have a nice little collection, and I do play my guitars. Most of them at least. More news when the guitar is delivered. I personally don't mind a 0 fret. The French luthiers, the Jacobacci bros, offered them as a standard feature on their hightly sought-after, extremely reliable guitars. The local player who custom-ordered this smaller sized B Barnes AcoustiLectric (probably in the late 60es given the humbuckers it came factory equipped with) was the brother of Remo Palmier, a well known Charlie Christian influenced player. Let's pause and think for a minute of how much another Charlie Christian follower, the late great Herb Ellis, brought us. Cheers!
