Umm, Adrian.... You are in possession of stolen goods. Send it to me and I'll sort the legal problems out. I'm not a lawyer like RVA or Sergio, but I "know people"! :)

Nice try--- I like the "legal" angle --- much more polished than when I just demand the P.O.S. be sent to me for destruction , good Job Alex! ;)
 
That little brass lamp you have there on the Left side of the first picture... We (my parents) had a set like that about 30 years ago! Damn, that brings back memories!

I like your style! Much better than the demands made on me to mail my gear off...

Ha!
Although RVA and I don't represent criminals (at least not in their criminal cases :-o Dont know what Sergio's practice is.
 
Its a beauty. That body shape is so much more comfortable than a big ol' dread.
That's a buy you'll never regret.

The Missus had stuck it there while the Christmas Decorations where up--- its usually on the coffee table in the living room :)
 
So today I decided (since it was balls ass cold and raining here in the swamps) to give the ol Gal a good "SPA DAY"

stripped her bare--- oiled all the good bits and replaced all the bad ones----some nice new fresh BRONZE d'addario strings --- proper set up to my liking......(you know a mile high string height ---bassists ugh) and polished her up and damn it--- we might ---MIGHT just have a found an acoustic eSGEe can live with for a long---long time....

I am pleased with the tone and all--- rich full sound--- happy happy --- but I ask some questions now as well.....I know a stinker ton about solid body guitars and semis but these acosutical things are still somewhat "mystical" to me......

strings-------can anyone recommend a good FULL RICH sounding ----flatwound???? or halfround? ---- love the guitar--- hate the scratchy scratchy when i slide ---I could go (and may) full on regular style jazz flatwounds------- but I am curious if there is something else .....like has anyone tried THESE???

I would strongly suggest the Elixer brand. They are full on my Alverez, Ovations and Ibenez 12 string and all are full sounding. They are a little more $ wise in my area... BUT I find they last 1 1/2 to 2 times longer then anything I've tried and keep their sound.
