OK, I'm impressed! How about the rest of you members?

Not bad, not bad. Even with white binding!

Graham,

Your 730S JG is the acoustic of my dreams. That does it for me. Thanks to you, I now have to add yet another guitar to my want list.

You're welcome Brian

I had no intentions of buying a 730. I always prefer the jumbo bodied acoustics. But when I saw it hanging on the wall of the store.......I just had to have it!

I was only going in to buy a lightshow

Ooh, that is a tough one. Rickenbacker Accoustic or a Lightshow...... Gotta go with the lightshow!

I would go with the 331 myself.

You got me.. I'm impressed.... I didn't know it was humanly possible...

Yeah, good note Peter, I'd like to know if the Jazzbo sounds different from the Shiloh and the Comstocks... Does it give a deeper tone?

Having had the honor of playing both of Bill Henshell's Rick acoustics at the Milwaukee conference, let me just say that his 12 string is easily the best playing and best sounding 12 string acoustic I've ever played (or heard).

I love my RIC 12 string 730 too. Graham, you found it in a STORE? Where? How old was it?

"Ooh, that is a tough one. Rickenbacker Accoustic or a Lightshow..."

Buy both. It only costs a little more to go first class.

Peter......I fell in love with this guitar. I find it rich and warm. Not as bright as my Comstocks and easy to handle (not at all like my wife...................sorry I didn't mean that dear

)

I bought it in Japan on a mad 1 day trip, which turned into the most memorable shopping trip ever. I'll tell you all about it when I see you all later this month. But I did actually go to buy the lightshow.........but came back with an lot lot more. It was kind of like..............I'll take it.............and that..........and that.......and that.......and that.........etc........ it end up as this little lot................

That's quite the guitar and bass collection, Graham!

Can you put me in your will?

Congrats! Marvelous specimens.
