  1. I have a Monaco III that is in great condition. The only non-stock items are the ebony tuning pegs (I think I can find the original chrome ones if you insist). I'll take $1400 shipped and paypal'ed to continental U.S. I'm happy to ship elsewhere, but it can be a pricey proposition, and I won't do the "gift" thing.

    Edit: If it helps anyone, this one is about 7.75 pounds or so (as weighed by Wildwood when I got the guitar). It definitely feels like a lightweight, given the bigsby, etc.

  2. My Robin Rawhide.

    Transparent orange with scrape binding on body and f-hole; flamey maple neck with rosewood fingerboard; cream, pearloid pickguard & pickups.

    It weighs a mere 6.4 lbs, and is (to coin a phrase) "resonant as hell!"

    Really nice guitar!

  3. I really didn't see the attraction of these strings. I tried a few sets a couple of years ago (I guess when he was still shipping), and they really didn't seem all that. They were slightly different, but I really like my EB strings, especially at $4 a set or less. They certainly didn't hold up any longer, either.

    I understand about the feel aspect, though. Have you tried Thomastik? DR Blues? I like both of those strings for their feel. (But, then again, I like the feel of my EB power slinkys, so take my recommendations with a grain of salt.)

    Good luck, Dave, on resolving this!
