Maybe we have our next in person meeting in Holland. What could possibly go wrong?

I can hang with that.

If you can live with your balls not being aligned properly, I guess we shouldn't judge.....

Ahem…I haven’t changed strings yet, so you know they’ll be hanging straight. No decision on which strings would be the best match. Other projects ahead in queue.

Isn’t that just a base model IV?

I don’t know the seller (Alicia) in real life, but have interacted with her online. Cool person, bird player, needs to sell.

Just don’t fly home with a layover in Singapore.
First sign you see when you step off the plane…

Polishing day turned out better than expected. Now my brain is stuck thinking about the grill cloth…View attachment 5158089

Play the amp instead of replacing stuff.
It works and sounds good, right?

And the last sign in baggage claim is “if you cross the yellow line with illegal drugs you will be killed” Not arrested, not prosecuted…have a nice day.

OCD. I play through it every day and it sounds marvelous. You called it.

I don’t know enough about them to be sure, but it does have the limited edition stamp on the back of the headstock.

M6 is a very special amp. Nothing quite like it. Love my M9

if I wasn’t such a scrub.
I’d have it serviced along with the Ashly.

Its the same type of Custom Shop models as the red and blue models. Pretty sure these were the original run of CS Epi Birds.

Do you see a price? Seems evasive.

Yep. Thanks George. Looks like there are currently three available. But can’t do it now. I trust the opportunity will come up again.

No. That’s the first run of the series. Ebony, Pelham Blue, the first generation Alpine White, and the Sparkling Candy Apple Red ones all had the standard black pickups.
