Or perhaps something we didn't see a picture of? Nah. Nothing would make me happier than to see you get off the bus with one of (any of) those beauties. 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."

Branden was an awesome guy. He was always willing to answer any questions, show me any guitar, and even serviced my atlas and tossed some new strings on. I had a great time at the hockey game and stuff. Cant wait until he comes back next year. About that trade....when the guy was purchasing his NWC, he wanted electronics in it and branden had to find some quick. He decided to take the set up out of a "blemished" pro C25. Now, I've been wanting an acoustic without electronics because I never use mine, and cedar is more of my style than spruce. So, long story short, I tried this C25 and fell in love. So, a possible trade of my atlas for this C25 is in my future Sorry for the rant, hope you guys enjoy the pics! "All the world's a stage"

Slope Shoulder Posts: 2797 October 3, 2009 06:20:17 Seventh String moderator	Nice story and great pics Keenan, hope your possible trade works out for you. I'm so deep into this house sale/move that I thought G.A.S. had no effect on me...until I saw this thread. Thanks Keen.

Looks like you had a complete blast. That Redwood looks like a natural in your mits. I have a Northwest but that one looks like it has an englemann top. GAS. Nothing like a fat Northwest, louder than Macasser I think huh Neal? Tele? Chuckie? You guys think it's like having a Harley don't ya'? Ha. We shall see in the showdown. Great report from the oh so interesting young Sir Keenan. B.G.M.F. Last Edited By: omegaman41658 October 3, 2009 07:25:53. Edited 2 times.

0M Posts: 771 October 3, 2009 10:57:52 Ask BGMF moderator	I was thinking that redwood would be the one for you. NWC = Harley Fat Boy. That Pro was my original choice though. You fell in love and I don't blame you. I'm not the only one on the forum who thinks that Pro C25/CR is an awesome sounding guitar. I need Brandon's cell phone number. Tell him to turn around and bring that bad girl back to you. If he takes her over the border, guitnapping charges may be filed. Blase is gonna need a doctor. Or a lawyer. Or an ambulance. What number do you dial for 911? 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."

000 Posts: 325 October 3, 2009 11:03:44	Haha tele, I wish I could take that Focus, but I just don't have even close to the $4000 price tag. The redwood had the perfect tone for what I play. It was so warm and clear, and incredible responsive. If i could trade for this C25 it'd be awesome. The fact that it doesnt have electronics is fine with me, and the fact that it is "blemished" (I put it in " " because myself nor branden could find anything wrong with it). Itd be a nice upgrade for me. "All the world's a stage"

Parlor Posts: 2 October 3, 2009 21:51:09	Hey Keenan and everybody, It was so cool to be welcomed to Thunder Bay this weekend and have a home cooked meal followed by my first Hockey game!!! Thanks for all your support everybody! I'm going to go home and sleep for weeks before I take the bus anywhere else, but hopefully it will be in your hood soon. Roomer is it's going Northeast with Colin... Keenan-Gary has something in mind for you as far as the trade goes. I'm sure he'll take care of you better than you hoped, or else I will be coming right back across that border! (which, was way easier to cross this time, thank you Rajeev at Expeditors!) Well, I'm enjoying left overs from Keenan's mom just outside of Duluth MN on Lake Superior and it is grand so I'm going to unplug and enjoy. Best Regards! Branden
