As most of you know it's been a while since I've been here, work, family, life and a host of other things have sadly kept me away much longer than I'd have liked.
Bob & Joey, thanks for the emails !!
So, to all the usual suspects .... what's been going on !!!
New neck profiles ???
Cap Switch on the 4003 !
75th Anniversary Bash ... who's got the pictures, who all was there !!!
Anyone got a spare 4003-75th, it's not Fireglo, but I guess it's close !!!

You have been seriously missed here. Nobody advocates for Fireglo like you do! It is good to see you posting again. Welcome back man!

Rumor has it that BronzeGlo™ is the Color of the Year for 2007.

Thanks John,
I was very fortunate to be at the first West Coast meeting and to get a tour of the Factory from John Hall, at that time I think there were maybe ten of us there. !!

With forumites from all over the world at the 75th, it was an awesome experience - Jason Mendelson said it best - like 50 instant best friends! Leaving to go back to reality was traumatic for all!

I was wondering what happened to you Jim. I'm glad to see you back. What do you think of the Amber Fireglo?

Not seen one in real life as yet, but the pics I've seen look really nice, this is my 4003 which is a 96 and the Maple has aged nicely to a warm glow ...
This is my 72 4001, which overall has slightly more colouring still looks gorgeous though ...
Hmmmm .............. Fireglo !!!!

I have no 75th to offer, but at the risk of redundancy...
Wel-you know.

Hey Jimmy, my favorite Scottsman.
Welcome back, it's about time.
I'll swap you my 75th for Katie?
