Go back in the morning and don't leave that store without it! Doctor's orders, got that?!

If my taste is any kind of endorsement, grab that Ci. I'm keeping mine!

Nice sound!

Hey,Doc,can ya loan me $1800?
It was in very good condition,with the maple fretboard being a bit dingy about the only nitpick. I just don't want to go into credit card debt for anything at this point. And i dunno,the price didn't seem to just say bargain to me,especiall since they had 2 new cii's for the same price. (A transred,and a very purple blueburst,both of which looked great.)

Yeah that price is a bit on the high side for one, too bad. Maybe the good thing is it will be there for a while so you can shovel a few more driveways and rake more leaves.............

What is this "shovelling of driveways" you speak of? Some curious custom of the Northeastern provinces?

That's where you spread the new gravel out over the areas that were washed out by all the rain...

Congrats, George, the W looks and sounds great!

Sounds as good as it looks George... Congratulations!

True!
Also-- CJ,you said you can't wait to play your(s),meaning 4003w? Cool! Congrats to you,and also to George,btw! ( the audio clip sounds fabtastic!) I do have to say if i were going to buy a 4003,the W i played would be the one for me. I Wish i had had my 4000 close at hand for comparison on neck profile and weight.

I can't see the link to the audio clip. Help?

here it is here paul. https://soundcloud.com/george-lynch/4003-walnut

Yeah, it's 7600 miles away. In reality, I did actually get to see it and try it out for a few minutes a couple of weeks ago when I was back in the US for a week. No amps, they're all packed up, and sadly, things were so busy that I really only had about 15-20 minutes to play around with it.

I didn't even have a moment to take any pics! I'll have to get my wife to snap a few before the movers pack everything up next week.

In the mean time, here are a couple of dealer pics of it...

Kinda off topic, C.J., but I must have missed the whole "moving to NZ" thing. Can you tell us the story?

I think he was kicked out of the USA and CJ figured NZ was kinda like MT.
