I guess for clarification, I am looking for something mid to high end, depending on make/model. So I'm kinda all-in for solid woods and gloss finishes. In a perfect world it's something she treasures for a lifetime. In a not-so-perfect world, she can make enough selling it to pay for something she treasures for a lifetime. Great question, and maybe I didn't say it correctly. I mean 12-fret, which is a guitar with a neck that joins the body at the 12th fret. That eliminates a large swath outta the gate, but I'm of the mind that smaller bodies benefit from having the bridge moved back. Someone suggested Larrivee and if I could I would. I used to have a Larrivee P-01 which was fantastic and would be a perfect match if it were better appointed. Getting into something a little nicer with a gloss finish means the P-05 and even used examples break my budget. It was actually my P-01 that has me convinced a 12-fret is the way to go. Lots of Taylor suggestions but from what I've found Taylor only offers the 12-fret neck joint in their bigger-than-baby sized Grand Concert and I worry that's a little bigger body than would be comfortable for her (she's 17 and a short 5').

Does it have a stadium logo on the headstock?

Do they employ Bassets for their basses?

is there a website with the info? thanks

#2 was #1. So what does that make #1?

No - it would be a 1997. A 2007 serial would be 75xxxx.

just want to make sure .. thanks

Does it play like butter? *ducking*

I don't name guitars. I have so many, I'd forget their names.

NICE! Still showing at Reverb shop, but CME's site says #2 was somebody's #1 choice.

Reminds of seeing a show at, of all places, a theater in Beverly Hills long ago. The 3 featured players were Lonnie Mack (with that crazy V) , Roy Buchanan and Dickie Betts (sans Allmans). Buchanan came out with his Tele and had a Twin Reverb sitting on a folding metal chair. Pretty much did the same thing. Nothing fancy. Tele straight into the Twin. Set everything on max and started playing. In his fashion, screaming treble and feedback, much playing past the treble end of the fingerboard. That tone and volume just cut right through you! My wife and many others made a trip to the bathroom and came back with as much TP as they could...Shoved in their ears with the ends hanging out over their shoulders.

Cruise Bass #2 Hamer USA Cruise Bass Sunburst 1995 | Reverb Also with the earlier 2Tek and a reported 9lbs. 12oz. and OHSC.

Obviously, no affiliation (though I would love to work for CME!): Cruise Bass #1 Hamer USA Cruise Bass Sunburst | Reverb Has the earlier (i.e., larger) 2Tek but still weighs a reported and acceptable 9lbs. 9oz. Looks like an SKB hard case.

In '83 I saw the Ramones at Boston College. Somehow, our group managed to get right up against the stage - my left hip pressed against the structure. I could almost touch Johnny's amps with my outstretched arm. Johnny's guitar tech came out, clicked on the Marshalls, picked up the Mosrite and dimed every control. He bashed out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 A chords, rolled the volume back down to zero and walked off to a round of applause. I spied the stranger to my left blowing her nose, so I bummed a tissue from her and shoved a wad of it in my left ear. Probably the smartest, most mature thing 17 year old me ever did.

Those are the only pictures I have of it also.

How did I miss this???

Gonna take more than a "sorry" to make up for that one.

FIFY... I wonder if Fender is violating child "Labr"ador laws? 🤣 Sorry

I saw the same show in Bethel NY (ie Woodstock) The Doobies were great, my first time seeing them. Their set list was exactly what you would hope! They have not lost a step either vocally or instrumentally Santana was great, but no where near the player he once was. Yes I am being hypercritical. The drummer ,his wife, was a force onto herself, incredible! His set list was also what you would hope for. Carlos played a single cut PRS the whole night. I wonder why the change? Having seen Carlos before I was excited to see him, but as you can tell a little disappointed. Everyone I was with thought he was great. I enjoyed the entire show tremendously, but since it was Woodstock it had to rain and the Doobies had to cut their set list short. arniez

Saw that but I am in Florida...

Years ago I had a ‘95 exactly like that. It was a beast of a guitar. Someone will be very happy with this. GLWTS

Interesting pickup routes.

Eric moved here to Greensboro a few years ago, but I keep missing the few local shows he does.
