Seeing Red

Post by miltric »

Check out my new AFG 660/12, along with my not-so-new AFG 360 and my new American Deluxe Telecaster in Cherryburst (sorry, F&#$%r haters). My lack of a good camera and photography skills continue to dog me. But one neat thing about the flash is, it highlights the quilted pattern on the 12-string.

By the way, I didn't set out to have all red(dish) guitars; it's just that these happen to be the best playing guitars I've laid hands on, so I had to have them. But it's okay if people think I'm trying to make some kind of statement :)

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Actually, I got it from POTR. I feel so fortunate to live within driving distance of that fine establishment.

They are beautys- I've never seen a top like that on a 660! I saw that POTR had a 660/12AFG but I had no idea it was flamed..he didn't have it pictured on the site. Just a long sentence to say I'm sick with envy! :oops: Enjoy!!

Congrats Mark.

I didn't think there was any way you were going to be able to resist buying it.

BBR gone or lots of extras classes this spring?

BBR gone. I would have loved to have both, but I don't have enough stamina to teach all the courses required to fund that extravagance.

I don't see any red guitars here. I do see two FireGlo Rics, which look stellar, as expected.
