But Greg.....
Everyone should have the chance to get a Gummy pickguard shaped coaster with their guitar ....  .
Good to hear...... Side note, there's a guy asking about info on the Johnson JO-27 saddle and bridge pins (nearby recent thread) if you have access to that. Thanks!

You know what's funny , the other day I went to Guitar Center and was checking out the new high dollar US guitars .... and what did I find on the J-200 ? a
gummy pickguard .... a F%$#ing gummy on a $ 3500 guitar .. what the F%$# is going on with that ! I guess we really started the craze for them ... right here on
this forum ..... I'd like to see the other forums take credit for that !

Any ideas when they will start being shipping on the guitars? I'm sure there's still a lot of new un-sold guitars out there in dealers with the old
gummy-bear pg's to get rid of.

Greg, please don't stop making the old gummy guards, for they serve a valid social function. If you put one on a Taylor, it might actually improve the
tone.

$400 for a RD-227? Nice deal there! Probably old stock and maybe a "Blem"/2nd.

Man, there are a ton of Recording Kings (including 3 RD-227's), Carolina Johnson's, a few Martins and Taylors, and a ton of other misc. brands on Daddys.com. Never heard of this site before. Prices are pretty reasonable, and
some with limited warranty.
All (3) of the RD-227's are $399 + $45 shipping. No case though. Jeff |
