The Guild is my porch guitar and the Martin was an anniversary present from my wife back in 2005 so that stuff is staying. Not sure about a Lowden though. I think I have my Irish covered with the Avalon and now the McIlroy. Plus my wife is Irish too. I have enough County Cork attitude to last me a while The Avalon could go in favor of a Santa Cruz FS at some point if the McIlroy is what I think it will be. We'll see about that situation next year. I have to give my wife time to recover from all my wheeling and dealing.

I like your way of “thinning”, Barry. But I don’t think my wife will endorse the use of that term for what we used to call, “one in, one out”.
That McIroy looks SWEET. And I love walnut as a tone wood. |

I’m really looking forward to your thoughts on the McIlroy compared to your Avalon. I almost bought that Avalon a month or so before you did! But the smaller A size McIlroy spoke to me more.

I put 3 guitars on consignment at a local guitar store (30 miles away) yesterday.
Morris B-50-12-string Guild F-412 Epiphone EJ-200 Giving serious consideration to ordering a mahogany Iris ND-200 from the US if these 3 sell quickly.

Congrats Barry. I’ll venture that you’re going to be really pleased with it.

Bruce, you're selling both of your 12s?

Just not playing them much - I will probably regret selling the Guild F-412, it sounded glorious in the shop - but I know what to buy if I ever get the 12-string urge again.
My SJ-200 has spoiled me for tone but I'm thinking a mahogany Iris ND-200 might make a nice contrast - love this one.

I would like to try a Guild D-40 Traditional in sunburst.
I prefer used over new, but might have to buy a new one. Seems the guys that have 'em ain't letting them go.

Congrats as well. I looked hard at that one the other day as I've been wanting to pick up a McIlroy for some time. I backed off though as my Pre*War is still awaiting startup and I committed to buying no more until it arrives. Enjoy
