I found my dad's guitar. Well, not *his* or I'd be buying it. http://www.archtop.com/ac_59ES_125.html His was green sunburst (yeah; green. I loved it; he hated it.) His was older than this, but I like that this one is the same age as me. For a grand, I should get it. I might. I could do it. I'll think about it. Guess I should look around first. Maybe. Okay, so I'm talking to myself. So what? Found this http://www.theblueguitar.com/item.php?item_id=2 Synchronicity - this is being sold by the shop here in town where my dad got all his parts and had his intstruments repaired. joel
