It is a very nice looking guitar though. Congratulations on the find.

This constant posting about Hashimoto guitars is getting tiresome.

I don't know what it is, but I can be really obdurate (as many of you know). I had been hearing people go on and on about Richard Thompson for years. I had listened to a bit of it, too, but it never really did anything for me. Finally saw him in concert maybe 6 months or so ago. I don't get it. Don't misunderstand. I'm not saying he's not everything his fans say he is, but I left scratching my head wondering what all the fuss is about. That show just left me cold, and I really wanted to like him. I hope nobody thinks I'm bashing the guy, because that's not it at all. Just wondering what I am missing that I can't appreciate somebody who is by all accounts one of the great talents of out time. I think "52 Vincent" is one of the greatest recordings of all time and based on that I've really tried to like him. So far it hasn't worked.

I have a 125th anniversary parlor that is amazing. It has tone and projection that are far above its price point. Mel Which model is it? I really like the looks of those.

The IRS will probably take it for back taxes then lose it in some government warehouse.

Thanks, I've been wondering about that myself. I though it was one of those things you never find out about; Like who really built the pyramids and why the chicken crossed the road. Now I know about songbird guitars at least.
