Wanna hear a 700C acoustic?

Here's my first ever attempt at uploading a video on YouTube. The clip was taken during my recent US trip, while I was staying with John William's at his lakehouse.
The 700C is an absolute pleasure to play and sounds fabulous, although the quality of the YouTube sound reproduction is fairly ordinary.

Sounds like your still in love with the ole' girl Darren. What gauge/brand strings did you end up with on the 700? BTW, we're still waiting for Comstock pics by the beach.
I think Dr.Bob should be getting a very special delivery in a day or so.

Good show Darren.
Your hands appear to move faster than the speed of sound.

Not only shreddin' on a Ric, but shreddin' on a Ric acoustic. I'm speechless!

Stevie Ray would be proud Darren. Nice job.

Y'know Brian, I sold two original SRV multi coloured guitar picks in 1999. I obtained these myself at Stevie's March 1986 Adelaide concert.
I think I got about $500 for the pair of them, and used the proceeds to help fund the purchase of a Gibson Flying V. I figured SRV would agree with me flogging his picks for a guitar.
The Flying V has since been traded for other guitars, but somehow I can't help but feel that the guitar pick proceeds must have helped obtain the 700C. That's why it has "mojo".
That's my theory anyway, and I'm stickin' to it!
PS: Trivia...those same multicoloured picks would now fetch about $1500 a piece. Apparently the multicoloured ones were very hard to find. Bugger!

Darren,
Even though they are only instruments in the final analysis, certain very special guitars only allow their "mojo" to be demonstrated in the hands of a skilled player. That's my pet theory and you have added weight to it.

Was the sound track dubbed on afterwards? I'm sure I can here a "clunk" as John drops the needle on the record
