And it is a bit of a cliche that the guitar has only had one careful lady owner before (oh, plus her siblings).
I can say one thing for sure though, if I was having a sunburst 'fiddy-tew' I'd rather have a two colour fifties spec one than this, which is bordering dangerously on the fringes of being a furniture guitar (albeit a very pretty one), and therefore IMHO at odds with what the 52 is all about. And for Telemarkman's information,
mine's nicer anyway.
They should reintroduce the black and the sunburst versions, and possibly the copper, but then I think maybe it's is a subject we've done to death.
Califatboy, are you any closer to deciding what you might get?
