Peter:
 
I bought it from a guy who lived in Pacific Grove on the Monterrey Peninsula.  It had several cracks, some repaired well, some not so well.  Missing pick guard, significant neck dive, wrong bridge and a plywood bridge plate.  It also has some wonderfully tight and straight grained Brazilian Rosewood.  Even in the beat up state, it still sounded incredible.  For the same money it will eventually cost, I could have found one in better shape, but I felt like I was doing a good deed and making a nice deposit in my bank account of karma by bringing this one back.  After 1+ year's work, it should be even more incredible and a lot more stable.  
 
By the way, does anyone know if Resurrection is still in business?  Their website doesn't exist anymore.
 
Bill, tgo

For those of you all that are into high end acoustics the best website that I know of is www.dreamguitars.com Not only have they sold a few Henderson's, but they also sell a lot of super high end acoustics as well as a few nice boutiqe electrics as well. Ahh Brazilian. If I had had about another $1000 I could have gotten it on my guitar, making it worth easily $20,000.

Colin,  
Too bad you didn't show up here earlier. I've spent the past seven years going back and forth to Bardstown and would have gladly walked over to say Hi.

Keith that would have been cool. There are not a lot of people in town that A. know what a no distillation apparatus Alembic is and B. know good music. (sigh)

True about the music but they do know a fair amount about distillation. Just about everyone seems to do it around there. I was talking to one of my folks neighbors last spring and they were in the process of resurrecting the old family distillery. They seemed to be trying to cash in on the resurgence of Bourbon.  
 
Keith

What I meant (was that there is no music in Bardstown, and no one knows what a boutique bass or gitar is. I am pretty involved in the bourbon industry as a whole. Colin

I understood what you meant about no music. The reference to bourbon was meant to be somewhat tongue in cheek (although there is a lot of truth to it also).

I figured. I have to listen to the same two solo guitarists play the same 20 covers 3 times a night anytime I go out.
