Anything interesting about the setup?  :laughing7:

 

[imminentG]

I'm having Dan Erlewine build it and set it up.
Cop out to some, but I am not about to risk murdering my new wooden baby MYSELF  :headbang:

Another SCORE! for the Lefties.  :icon_thumright:

 

[imminentG]

Yes, this one should be QUITE the treat.
Looking into a Carvin Cobalt, too, never had an acoustic of my own, but I seem to go for hours even upside down on other folks'.

Dan Erlewine from the StewMac newsletter?  Do you know him personally or are you in his area?  StewMac is in Ohio, is that where he is? 

 

[Dan025]

that sounds like it'll be one fantastic telecaster

Last I looked (~1-2 weeks ago) Carvin was doing $200 off Cobalts plus internet discounts... like their bottom line Cobalt
was $200 and change.  Seriously price cutting.  I was tempted, but $$$'s going elsewhere.

 

[imminentG]

Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys, it means a lot to me.
I live in Queens, ny
I have an uncle in ohio- but he's not Dan Erlewine.

It's going to be some degree of warm for a tele, but I can only imagine what this thing'll sound like :icon_thumright:
brass saddles, as well, I guess

 

[AprioriMark]

Ohhh man.  I'm excited for you.
