tulk1 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I would have definitely guess a Millenium Eagle.. . . except, I don't have a clue what that is????????????????? Doesn't appear to be on the Heritage site anymore. But it was on the old site. A Millennium version of the Eagle, I guess. Hey, I'm just reaching here since Lance is being so coy about what it is.

Hey, I'm just reaching here since Lance is being so coy about what it is. Let's all tell him that we no longer give a shit what it is. Then he'll panic and tell us what it is. Works every time.

Gitfiddler Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Bob~ You mentioned that this new mystery gitfiddle could be played down by the bridge. Did you score that beautiful acoustic Sweet 16 form Wolfe?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you score that beautiful acoustic Sweet 16 form Wolfe?! He mentioned it wasn't a "Sweetie", so I'd assume it's not a Sweet 16. But then, I think there was a Millennium Eagle, so what do I know? Right now I'm thinking about jumping in camp with Patrick's idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you score that beautiful acoustic Sweet 16 form Wolfe?! dig, dig dig, dig we have a winner I cant wait to get her, 3 3/8 rim, tap tuned spruce top, Honduran hog sides and one piece back. should sound huge... she has been at wolfe's for quite a while but I just could not pay the price. then I called the other day and made an offer and jay said yes. So she is on her way to me, can't wait to get the bigsby on her or maybe I should go with a floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I expressed my admiration of this guitar in a thread a while back... and that has not changed. It is soooooo cool that you picked up this wonderful acoustic archtop . TONE TONE TONE..... all day long. Tap, tap, tap-tuned and all ( which is the next thing you need to learn how to do, Lance ) I'd love to see and hear this beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I claim a spank at PSPIV!! according to jay she is not a sweet 16 but a custom 16" and you can have a test drive any time.. Kuz not a one off, jay has one, vjohnathan has one and curly has one. I think mine might be the only one with a hog rim and sides. but yea I"m a sucker or the abnormal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I claim a spank at PSPIV!! Hey tulk1 . . . I gotta agree with Lance here. I'm the one who guessed Sweetie. That is no Sweet 16. It's definitely a custom and a true indication of just how diverse the crew at Parsons Street can be. I know those guys (and gal) up there aren't gonna get rich any time soon. But they gotta be having a great time pumping this speacial stuff out. Ya just can't put a price on that type of job satisfaction!!! Great guitar .. . for a great guy. Enjoy it Lance.
