My darling guinea pig (meant as a term of endearment, of course),

When you go to that certain place today at 1PM to do that thing you do, take a look around (PLEASE) for a couple of 654CE-LTDs. They both have Cindy inlays, one has a 2 piece back (jennifer's) the other a 3pc back (mine).

IF they will let you get a full on shot of my coco 810 I'd be FOREVER in your debt (OK till next Tuesday) Gothic Vine inlay on that one.

How can I (we) ever repay you for the service you have provided us poor whining guitarless b@$tards!!??

Kidding aside, I hope you get to see YOUR OWN guitar this trip (and not in some big metal thingy)!

Have fun!:)

OOhhh It's 4:15 here in New York which means SHE'S THERE RIGHT NOW!!!!

Even if I don't get another glimpse of one of my guitars :( I'm still way too excited about seeing everybody else's pictures!!

I know, I'm annoying folks who have heard TOO MUCH about TS this and TS that. Well, TS!!:ha:

Should all be over in a week or two and we can get back to normal.:) +:( =:confused:

Annoy away....I plan to!

I'm sorry guys ... I really didn't get a good look around the Factory today as I was the only one there and I kind of had to coax Jonathan to let me just go look for guitars ... and I felt guilty since while we were walking and talking, I asked him how things were going and he said he was really swamped with work so then I really didn't want to take up too much of his time. So we did a quick 20 minute walk-through through the Factory, but since it was done out of the normal schedule, many of the racks of guitars that are usually in certain places when the tour goes through weren't there. I did get to see my guitars, though ... and one other cocobolo ... I'm not 100% sure whose it is, so I'm not going to say something and dash his hopes ... but I'm pretty sure I know whose it is.

Hey! You got to see your guitars!! That is fantastic! (Got my wish! Well one of them.)

I think all is going well and we'll be seeing ALL the TS guitars well before the month is out! Just a guess!?!:)

[buddiesorg]

Well, I'm glad I didn't say anything about whose cocobolo I thought that was ... because I was wrong. I'm not going to post it because it's another picture of Jeffrey's guitar and it's not as good a picture as the one already posted.

I'm sorry I didn't see any new guitars (well, besides my own), but I didn't have the luxury of peering at every single guitar in sight while listening to the tour guide ... I even missed my cocobolo the first time we went through ... but when we went to the old building and I saw my koa, I was told it was somewhere in the new building ... and it happened to be on the other side of the same cart as Jeffrey's!

Send me the picture!! Please?!

I don't care how bad it is, I just wanna see it! :D

[jeffrey]

Mary,

Just checked your site, thank you SO much for posting that picture! It's wonderful just to see progress (even if it still is on the rack hehe ;)).

[meridian]

Hi Mary,

I'm glad you put up the pics from yesterday. Your two dreads are going to be fantastic!

Notice the "ponytail" sapwood on Jeffrey's guitar? Does it remind you of anything???:roll:

[meridian]

And BTW, THANK YOU so much for the heads-up glimpse of my coco 810. Having a chance to digest the surprise of that reversal of the wood set really is much better than opening the case for the first time expecting someting different!

I really appreciate it.
