I am on the Batson Roadtrip list! I'll be doing a full photo/soundclip/review of the experience and share it on the AGF. Good luck with your sale!

Sweet! I think that's a fantastic idea that they had. Really is a great way to get guitars from a smaller boutique builder into the hands of those interested in checking them out that aren't near one of their few dealers. Any idea what they'll be sending you?

Straight from Grant Batson. 30 of us got on the list. I am not sure of the order. The first review from Danny Combs is on the main page. If you go to the Batson Forum (new) there is a picture of the United States with all of the spots pinpointed. It should be a great PR item. I will be showing her off to a few pro's and a few collectors If I get any indication they are buyers I'll send them your way.
