Exactamundo, West! We are merely caretakers of these fine instruments.

Ever see the movie "The Red Violin?" Have a watch some time. It's a wonderful piece of historical fiction, loosely based on one of Stradivarius' violins. It puts instrument "ownership" into some perspective.

No sir, I haven't seen it, but I will. In the context of this forum, the guitars are bigger than we are.

The good news is she's beautiful, the bad news is that the electronics don't work. Kenny, how's the magic luthier with electronics?

Let's stop kidding ourselves,Jim. Just send it to me. Now.
Scratch knows my address.

Carl was gracious enough to not only remedy my electronics problem, but also to allow me to publically humiliate myself.

He sent me a PM asking if I'd changed the battery?......my reply....."What battery?" I'll leave it at that.

:oops: Thank you Carl,
:lol: West

That's GREAT! Glad it was nothing more than that, West!

p.s./ You have a (forwarded) PM, West. Best wishes.

Lust!Lust!

West, BTW, how is the thinline volume wise? Personally I'm a little disappointed by my Cv-2C on this side, it's not as loud as I thought she would have been...

I imagine it can get REALLY LOUD when it has a new battery and is plugged into an amp. :wink:

that's TOO easy! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Of course, if the owner remembers to replace the battery... :p :p :p

Ok ok, I deserve that :oops: . Love those Marshall amps. Scratch has a little Marshall acoustic and I really like that little thing.

Thank you Michael, she's an itty bitty thing compared to what I'm used to playing, and a totally different sound, but she's so beautiful. I think I'm going to enjoy playing her.

well in the case you won't like her, I'm pretty sure that you'll find some generous member of this board eager to help you lying down your burden... :roll: :roll: :roll:
