Hey Bob, while your at it, can you make me a mandolin? Maybe a 5-octave hammered dulcimer would be nice too! (...with dampers
 ).How about a can-jo?  But I'll only buy it if you offer it in a 12-fret, short scale with the scarf joint.

you guys have no faith or imagination in uncle bob, thats all i'll say.
to get something along the lines of what i posted, one has to pay upwards of $4000-sometimes a little less used, but still high for my pockets. couple folks make a model like this. these 12 fret slopes can play anything thrown at them(when made correctly). the Santa Cruz RS is an awesome guitar-cheapest i've found one used is $3800. D Flammang makes a killer RS, again, in the 4 range and up-cannot find a used one. Gibson just release the Jackson Browne model this summer-awesome guitar, saw him play one, and i've played 1 myself, still high cost. same with martin. taylor could make one of these for i would guess around $2400 street cost brand new, and it would rock. one never knows what models are being worked out behind the walls of T. that shortscale prototype dread keith urbans band member has been seen playing has a very gibsonesque burst to my eyes-very very different than the bursts i've seen past and present from el cajon. you all wait and see," things..........they are achanging" d

Hey Daryl. You're right about the price tag, but the Collings DS models are hard to beat (EXCEPT) I'm not a huge fan of the of the V neck. But let's take it one step further. A sloped 12-fret dred with a cutaway. I've tried a couple of Martin Simpsons, but for whatever reason, they didn't do much for me--through one had the prettiest sunburst I have ever seen--no exaggeration.
Sooo. 12 fret sloped D with a Taylor neck and a cutaway--oh, and offer it with Adi top. My 2 cents.
