Jim, I really want to play your D-35 with the 1 3/4 inch neck. How did you do that?
Marshall, count me among those wanting to hear and possibly try your Merrill. I will probably bring both my guitars, the '71 D-28 and my Froggy Bottom F 12 fret. I can't predict which I'll feel like playing one day to the next. |

Ken I'd love to give the Froggy bottom a go, they are beautiful guitars, but I've never had the chance to hear one in person.

Rick, I don't know if I'll still have the Froggy by then, as I'm trying a conditional trade with another forum member. But if either of us is
unhappy in any way, the Froggy hops back home to me. Rest assured though, if I do trade, the new guitar will be something special.

So far, my list includes:
1992 D-45S Deluxe (with my 1968 04 1969 D-35S as a possible "stand-in") 1958 D-28 (with my 1957 D-28 as a possible "stand-in") 000-18 Norman Blake (with my 1938 00-17 as a possible "stand-in") 1975 D-12-41 (no substitutions or "stand-ins") There are a couple of wild cards, too - my NWD, my D-18CW Clarence White, my 00C-16FMBUAE...

I will bring my 0018V, as I just had a set up done on it and it is su-weet! Also my custom 00035. Probably the Guild 312. (so Tony can play it again)
I'm toying with bringing the D-28, but to sell it. Still unsure about that decision. I hope there is enough room in Bob's vehicle for all our gear!
