Note: I ^oured a drink over my keyboard and have some^ roblems. The letter before Q cannot be entered and my delete function isn't working, maybe more so that'may be why it looks like I can't sell worth a damn.

I've got three to share with you today.

The 1st isn't actually a NGD, more like an OGD (old Guild Day) but I never osted about it before so here it is. It's a Tacoma F 50R with great Fishman electronics and OHSC. It's in wonderful condition. If I were ever to list it I would likely call it excellent or at worst VG and more.. Yes, the TR is not right but it doesn't seem to affect tone or layability (now that looks weird) so I'll likely leave it where it is although I know it will cause many of you grief. I have another F 50R and I was going to kee it but another LTGer was looking for one and we're discussing that now.The 1st 5 ^ics are of this guitar.

The 2nd is a Corona F 512 that was discussed here earlier. I take back anything negative I may have mentioned about Corona build before. I now have 4 of them, all really nice. Yes, it has the armrest some of you don't like but it doesn't bother me much so it stays. A little checking but overall I'd say VG shae. That's the next 5 ^ics after the F 50R. Likely won't stay here all that long but you never know I guess.

The last several ^ics are of my new Richie Crowder custom made with African Blackwood back and sides and a heavily bear clawed Sitka soundboard. Of everything I own this may now be my favorite. The sustain seems to last for weeks and it sounds and lays excellent. This is my 4th Crowder Custom and I have another 15 on order (if I live long enough to get them all-he's a one man show so it takes a bit of time). Most all my Crowder guitars/orders are made with exotic woods. He does a really nice job and easy to work with as well.

OO^S, the ^ic sequence didn't come out the way I wanted. You'll need to figure it out for yourselves I guess.

Who needs a functional keyboard when you gots guitars? Love that f50 sunburst and that Blackwood is mesmerizing.

The guitars are lovely.

Re: the drinking mishap: Have you tried using a hairdryer on low or a fan to dry out the keyboard? It may function again.

Re: the 'delete' function: If the mouse/curser still works, just place the curser right after what you want to delete and use the 'backspace' button.

Congrats x3 Richard! All super fine. I’d like to hear more about this Crowder. Looks really nice. If you’ve commissions 15 they must be pretty special.

Just beautiful guitars Richard and agree on the wood Mr. Crowder uses. Kinda jumps out at me more that the Guilds.

You can borrow 4 es from your screen name and we will still pronounce it correctly.

Wow, Richard. You do it big!

For god's sake, flip that TRC on the F-50, my friend! :D

That's some insane bear claw on your new Crowder. Very sweet! :)
