Everyone does realize this thread is almost two years old, right?

Willie Nelsons guitar shall end up in it's rightful place in Country Music Hall Of Fame in Nashville Tennessee.. Where-as Ma guitar as you see it is in the hall of frame

Depends on whether it has tartanlad's pickguard on it .

You're right on Seagull. Thanks. Except now it's up to twenty-two posts instead of twenty-one. Either way, the fact that we're all commenting on the guitars and/or the suspiciousness of the thread is just feeding the troll's appetite. So really, we should all shut up .

Call me a cynic and a conspiracy theorist, but does anyone else find it strange that twenty-one of the posts in this thread have been made by users with three posts or less? And that people with just a single post bump the thread every so often? Smells like a troll to me :poke:.

People get a guitar from an unfamiliar maker and Google for info on it. The first article up (just now) in Google is a Wikipedia article, then two mentions from vintaxe.com and then there's Harmony Central at return 4... I guess that might explain it too . But I like my theory better .

Nope. They're out of business. Check out this thread: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=2575675 It's a pretty recent development, from what I gather. I suppose there's a chance that they were gobbled up in a merger that hasn't been announced yet.

I see, I see... okay last question. Could you tell me how you got old ebay postings? I wanna do some closed auction searches. Occasionally, you can come up with some closed eBay auctions by just Googling whatever it is you're looking for. It's not the best way, and the eBay results are usually two or three pages in, but it works. And gitnoob is right---as popular as eBay is, they don't have the capacity to store lots of old, expired auctions. They might keep 'em around for a little while, but don't expect to find anything older than a month or so.

This is one BAAAAAAAAAAAAhD post Don't quit your day job, man .

That's...umm...very...interesting? I'm a fan of the Vend-a-Goat as well. And not to toot my own horn, but I kind of like my goat .

My two Seagulls have solid tops and laminate B/S. My Ovation has a solid top and a plastic back. It doesn't have any sides . I'm not sure if it counts, but my mandolin is all solid wood !

Some of those look pretty cool, but I'm wondering how they'll hold up over the long haul? I was thinking the same thing myself. The website says that they're "super thin," but from the some of the pictures they had, it looked like they were sticking up off the fretboard quite a bit---relatively speaking, anyway. I'd imagine that the adhesive probably wouldn't respond favorably if you used something like Ax Wax on your guitar regularly, but I don't know that for sure. Cool concept, and if I ever run across a beater that needs some help visually, I might give 'em a thought. Certainly can't argue with the price !

My two Seagulls have laminate back and sides. I believe it's either a three-piece wild cherry laminate, or a cherry/mahogany/cherry sandwich. Either way, I guess that'd put me into the "other" category. My Ovation has a plastic back, and since it's an Ovation, it doesn't really have sides .

I'm BI-PINUAL:lol: I don't care either way. I have both. Yeah...I honestly don't give a hoot. I was going to vote, but then I realized that I didn't know which one to pick . My Ovation has a pinless bridge, but both of my Seagulls have bridge pins. I have guitars with both types, and I don't prefer one over the other just because of the bridge style.
