Nice collection,beautiful instruments -- I just received my Guild, Willy Porter Signature Model this morning. It has a Solid AAA Sitka Spruce top w/ florintine cutaway, flamed maple S&B, Madagascar Rosewood fretboard and bridge Ivorone binding and special inlay around the top and sound hole. It comes w/ the Fishman Elips Blend Matrix electronics w/ undersaddle strip & a mic on goodneck. Inside the baseside soundhole are mix, volume and other slide adjustment. Comes w/ 2 bone saddles one for reg. tuning one for alternate tuning & w/ self apply fretguard in the case. Also comes w/ bone pins for 3 base strings & 3 ebony pins for the treble. It really sounds better than I ever expected unplugged and pluged in is even better. Bought it wholesale thinking resale but don't know now. Haven't even put on new strings yet. Best sounding guitar I've ever played, but thats not saying much. Know more after my San Diego vacation Sept 2 -9 & visit to SD Old Time Music sdoldtimemusic.com they stock Martin, Larrivee, Taylor, Breedlove, Santa Cruz & others. Be spending part of a day there for sure. Also tour Taylor factory in SD. Gary
