that's news to me, I didn't know they had bolt on necks.

Hi, most of the tops will be laminated, A real carved arch-top is gonna cost you a fortune, don't sell the laminates short, In the mid-eighties, Takamine made a few models wih arched top and backs. The 391 and 591 series, they are wonderful, I've never run across one that didn't have suberb action and playability, Don't know why they don't make 'em anymore, you can find nice examples occasionally on ebay in the $300- $400 range. For a 20 year old guitar, you can't do better! They sound terrific amped up too!

yeah man, this was pretty easy, without a doubt - ED GERHARD , ya'll gotta do yourselves a favor and see this man if you can! I did a day long clinic with him last year, his phrasing is incredible, he's not known as a blues player, but let me tell you! He digs in and gets dirty like I've never seen, and the gentle stuff is played so elegantly, a real treat. Plus he's got that whole Weissenborn thing going! How cool is that, past all that, i really like Ian Anderson too!
