Looks like some nice wood on the MG John?

Which do you guys like better? The early fatter ones, or the later thin ones w/ knobs on the body?

Of the ones I played at the 75th (Graham's), I think I preferred the early MG one (I must have spent an hour playing it!) to the later Jetglo one, though they both were incredible.

"The middle one is the '68 from VG, right John?"

Indeed. The original photo that got cropped for VG:

And the one they didn't use:

I prefer the late 60's version myself. Although of course I like all F's

I loved the sound and feel of Darren T's early 1960's one when I played it.

However, If you "F" body hogs were ever to let one go.....I for sure would take the late 60's one. I love semi-circular layout of the knobs.

I like the earlier ones as the deeper cutaway has better lines and a classier look to it.

I've got a '59, 360F, MapleGlo that may be up for grabs. Let me know.

Yeah, likewise. Silence!! There are those of us who really really want one of these and and will pay a really really lot of money for it and then will take really really good care of it. Really.
