I think I can help with all those.

Captain, I'll work on the Esteban line for you.

It'll save me the trouble of having to go through some closets to find some of mine. So I am in.

Awesome idea, I would sign up in a minutes to try a Blackbird, Savoy or El Capitan. Also of interest would be the full size McPherson.

Harve did this a few years ago with a Voyage-Air. Worked well.

Same deal, pay the shipping to the next guy and write up a review. Mine is on my blog:

Was thinking I'd like to try an Emerald... but then I remembered you don't carry them any more, and I have one already.

I would be interested in trying out a Blackbird Lucky 13, one of the new CH-PA Rainsongs, and a 00 Rainsong if we can ever convince the good folks up in Woodenville to make one.

Put me down as first in line (well....maybe second by now) for a Blackbird Savoy. A great idea.

Count me in Ted. I participated in one of Michael's and realized the Emerald Harp guitar was a handful. Was happy to pay $40 and save buying and selling one at a huge loss. ~ Mike

Ted I was hoping you meant a road trip where all of us CF guitar owners meet at a big camp out by the coast and play our guitars in the fog by the fire until the wee hours.

There would be no other cost involved, but we would need each participants credit card info for security. If anyone should deicide they do not want to let go of the guitar, they could opt to keep it. With the builders approval of course, I'm thinking we would consider the guitar a demo and reduce the price.

Also, I would ask that each participant agree to post a review of the guitar here, maybe even a video if possible.

Thoughts?

Edit: This is limited to builders in my signature
Ted.....I am in if you choose to start the road trips up.....

Thank you,

This is a great idea, Ted.

My only problem is that I think you are trying to get me in trouble. I already had agreed that I wouldn't bring any more guitars into the house, then that darn Journey showed up. The smarter half didn't think my argument that since the Journey was living in my car, it really wasn't coming into the house, was all that clever.

I guess that's why she's the smarter half. I really hope your plan doesn't get me into more trouble, but I like the plan!
