Dude;
You need a Raymond Levine stone washed sport shirt of some kind. I expect to see you tomorrow in my shop! Pulease. Or at least let me press that darn thing. Then let me borrow your hair for a year. I have none. Where's your Keyser capo? You are welcome to use this non-pressed yet somehow oddly fashionable picture instead?
or pay for the rights to this fine picture...

Its just a super soft material (read; old) Thanks for pointing that out. (why didn't my photog catch that?) In the other shots I am wearing a cashmere, so maybe those will be better. I'll run down and pick one up tomorrow. You may not have hair, but that's a damn nice tee shirt!

I'm just jealous of all you photogenic peoples! I usually break the lens when in front of it.
I'm wondering if Joel is coming to visit tomorrow. He promised! Hugs, Ratkity |

I think there's some sort of rule that you can't play the blues while wearing cashmere. Easy listening maybe, but what would Son House or Charley
Patton think? Wait, I understand that Muddy was a serious clothes horse, so nevermind. My bad.

Its a Pro C25/CR Herringbone. So Cedar and Rosewood. It has the lightest color Cedar top I've ever seen. If it didn't say cedar on the label, I would
think it was spruce. I asked the guy I bought it from, and he wasn't really sure. The label verifies its cedar. If you play the guitar, its obvious as
well. Nice rounded tone, without some of the brightness normally associated with a spruce top. I recently replaced the stock saddle with a FWI , and it made
the tone even fuller. I also bought a ivory nut, that I will have a luthier install. I think I'm going to take
O-mans advice and have the guys next to M N M do the work. I havent been able to locate my trusted luthier of the last thirty years, so I have to trust somebody. I keep the action a little higher than most, because I believe it makes the guitar "pop" a little more. These cedar tops are a little more finicky than spruce, and require a bit more attention. When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me." |

Tele wrote:That fooled me, I assumed spruce also. So the top really is that light, not just the lighting in the photo. I can only imagine, but that sounds like a great combination. Thanks for the info. I am thinking that my next Breedlove will be Cedar/Rosewood, or maybe Cedar/Myrtlewood ... decisions, decisions ... |

Sounds great Tele. I am a little surprised that you are going away from the cedar top. When do we get to see pictures?
