Okay Randy, now you've got no excuse to let go of one of your 330's! Mike in Mansfield :wink:

Hi Mike: Good to hear from you. I'm still not sure whether I want to sell my '99 1997 FG.

I do have an absolutely mint '97 330 MG that I'd be willing to sell, if you're just looking for a 6-string. I bought the '97 from a Forum member a few years ago and haven't played it more than few minutes. Comes with the plastic SKB case that my 330 JG just arrived in.

But you're definitely not getting my '89 1997VB FG.

Hey, I'm getting good at posting pictures. Here's some other guitars I won't sell.
There's my '91 1997 JG.

Or my '80 325 BG.

Now I need to charge up my camera and take a picture of the headstock on my new 330 JG...

Randy & Mike, I'm going to be working in Ft. Worth tomorrow thru Friday and staying at a Hampton Inn in Hurst. I come easily bring my 1997 LH MG along if either or both of you want to have a mini confluence one evening. I had tickets for McGuinn concert Thursday night, but it's been postponed.

John: My beat-up 1997 JG is a "keeper". Sorry!

RC: Unfortunately, it's not a good week for me. I'm trying to schedule an emergency dental appointment for Monday afternoon and on Tuesday I'll be heading to Austin on business. I don't expect to get back to Dallas until Thursday night.

Randy, that's all right. I currently have six assignments in the Metroplex, two in San Antonio and one each in Austin and Birmingham. Looks like I'll probably be spending two weeks a month in the Metroplex, at least thru June or July.

Rats! I watched it sit on eBay for months and months at $999. "He who hesitates..."

John: Yes, this is the very same 1997 JG that sat on eBay for months and months at $1999 not $999. I finally picked it off when someone mistakenly relisted it at $999. I didn't actually receive the guitar until months later because it was sold before I won the auction. A few months later it reappeared at the same store as a trade-in, and they sold it to me for $999.

I think that if I ever get a 330, iT's getting a trapeze... they just look so cool. TOTALLY different look than an R, but still so NICE!
