So I got me a Legato:

I wanted a T-style with mini hums, so that's one more off my list.

Next up: a whole lot of saving money to buy a cool semi-hollow. I am thinking a Collings I-35 or a SoCo. Then I will have all the sonic avenues I lust for covered.

Consider me happy :)

I hope for a long time, though your point is well-taken :)

That's the problem with living where I live. I can't try these guitars in person, so I have to buy sight unseen. I often like them, but sometimes I don't, and if I spend $2500+ on a guitar, it has to be not perfect, but perfect *for me* or else out it goes, and in comes another one.

I have played a Legato and loved the neck, so I am hoping that this one has the same neck.

My inventory is actually pretty stable... compared to what it used to be!

Hey Mojo... did you ever sell that righteous Melancon with gold tv jones pups in it? that was the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen... and I know I say that alot on this forum. But really.

Yu0p, I did sell the Mel... the neck was just way too thin for my personal tastes. But Gerard sure builds a beautiful guitar, and I will own another one one day :)

The Vinetto landed at my house today, and all I say is Vince Cunetto sure knows how to build a beautiful guitar!

So, what's so unfortunate about a six saddle bridge?

I thought I had a lot of guitars. Man you are CRAZY!

Got to tell you man, I get a real kick out of your reviews. And you have a nice tasty feel to your playing!

2. Thanks for the kind words!

3. six-saddle bridge: I just don't like them on a Tele body. Never have, never will :)
