Listen to track one of my band's EP (link in sig). It sounds like a 12 string, but it's a 5002! I would encourage you to listen to the whole thing, though. :)

Picked up my mapleglo from John at Old Boise Guitar last Thursday. Beautiful flamed maple. He had a AFG and a JG that were nice but I think I got the best one. I will post some pictures later.

Dave!!!!!!! Dr Hilary and I had a lovely time. Thanks for the great dinner. It was very generous. I'm still sick about the cracked F. I'll let you post all the zingers questioning Graham's, um, preferences from now on. Get in touch re: non-forum centric get togethers!

Well, since nobody's posted a pic yet, here's my AFG that arrived today. Having a ball with it but needs a slight intonation tweek. Otherwise it plays well and sounds great. I just threw it on the bed and shot it w/my point and shoot. Better pix coming soon.
