Traitor? No - you're just a guy and we all like a little strange now and again. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I'll bet it's a killer. As long as you don't stoop to playing a T****r. Then we'll have to disown you.

Very nice guitars Stevek and Cartermac. I'm a new Borgy owner myself (OM Custom - Adi w/ Pao Rosewood) and love the way they play, great neck. It is my first OM and I'm getting used to the difference between it and my dreads, they really complement each other - great guitars and the workmanship is top notch as well. I have had some problems with the neck losing it's relief and have had to readjust a couple of times in the last few weeks, I am guessing it is just settling in. Congrats
The JOM is from the shop new and getting better everyday. I cant wait to hear it next year. Its going to be a killer. I wil put up some mp3s of it soon. Cheers all
stevek, great looking guitar, I love mine, had it a couple months now, my Collings is not getting much play lately, played with a guy last weekend he has a Country Boy Deluxe same build year as mine, came from same shop here in Ohio, they sounded great together TTerral I had some setup issues with mine, from what I gathered from Bonnie they tend to set them up rather high, leaving room to adjust, after some tinkering, mine plays just as I want still setup Bluegrass high, but plays great fine guitars Hey maybe a Bourgeois page would be a nice addition to the forum still the best on line
