Own 5 now, so I would only want upgrades of the stable:

EBMM Big Al 4SSS - perfect
EBMM Sterling 4H - upgrade to Reflex with Gamechanger (yeah baby)
Lakland Sky Bob Glaub w/Fralins - only upgrade I would want would be the US neck, otherwise, perfect
Lakland Sky 5502 - would love to upgrade to US 4 or 5-94
Boulder Creek Fretless Acoustic - would love to upgrade to an upright, but have no clue about the upright world, just have dug the sound since I was about 5 years old

MTD 535-24: classic myrtle/ash/wenge/wenge in Blue-green burst
