I got it alright, Ken is taunting me to buy it!

Au contraire mon ami... excuse the Franglais... now you know that this model exists maybe you can patiently wait until the right price arrives to match the model...

The one thing I would ask of Olivias' is to pop a pup and see how they wired the sucker in so you can get a better understanding of the potential sound of this Hobbit-Extraordinaire...

What is the fun in collecting if you have them all...? ;)
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Does it have a maple top like the last version of the Les Paul Recording guitar? It could be the only Hobbit in existance with a maple top! Not only collecting for fins, but for tops also!
There's no such thing as gravity, the earth just sucks!!

  From what I remember the control layout is legit, I think they "simplified" it at the end of the run, Same for the silverburst legit. I am basing this at my time at the House Of Guitars much of which was spent with a beer in hand, suffering from a hangover or a bit of both.

There will be another sometime ...

I'm running out of room and life expectancy with all these new Gibbies coming out!  :mrgreen:
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...
