Lovely, Aitch.... You have a very well-balanced collection, both in colors and in body styles!

Which one do you like the most?

Aitch,

Absolutely tremendous....I love the group shot. To round out the collection the next purchase ought to have a Mapleglo finish and perhaps the 360 "New Style" body shape.

That's a great collection, Howard! I'd also like to hear which one is your favorite. In fact, I'd like to read a "shootout" type review of all of 'em.

BTW, if you ever need a remote storage facility let me know. I emphasize "remote".

Awesome Howard - congratulations mate!

Darren's right about the mapleglo though. How about a 370/12?

Thank you very much, all.

Tony: I'm aware of your penchant for Fireglo (and you have a beautiful collection of those). My tastes are somewhat eclectic, so I haven't limited myself to one finish. My desire is more to collect the various models. Fireglo is my favourite too, but "when opportunity knocks....".

Darren and Rob: Yes, Mapleglo is certainly something I'd consider, and I'd like something with plenty of flame. I'll keep my eyes peeled!

Lindsay: A verbal shootout would be interesting. I need to spend some time comparing them from all aspects (sound, feel, looks, etc.). The cupboard is full now, but I've got some extra space planned. Thanks for the offer, but don't start re-arranging just yet!!

Chris: I thought that might be the case - LOL! Image

Howard, Love the 360V64/JG. If you ever want to part with it let me know, it is the ultimate RIC I love the JG and that binding.

You have a great family portrait.

It's a real sweeeeet item, Geoff. The body is in fantastic condition and it plays like a dream!

Think I'll hang on to it for just a little while yet - like 'til death do us part'!

Yes..... I'm extremely proud of them all!!
