Yeah, that would be something! Unfortunately, my Guilds of any real value are ones that I really don't want to part with.........yet. :blushed: Bling-O-Plenty on that one though.

I've long admired Merle's playing, and have a fair amount of his early & late work on CDs. This gal and that Guild do a great job of capturing his sound, even if she's using more fingers than Merle used!
