I have serious envy of your gear and i'm going to seek help to get passed it. Wow! I love every one of them and i am concerned that it may not be humanly possible to spread your love throughout this many needy and deserving companions! I'm here for you. Lafayette Louisiana isn't too far if you need me to come by every now and then and love a couple of them. I will happily turn a few out a weekend but i can't promise they won't fall for me!! Seriously, wow! What a collection!

Those pics make the Swinger look some other colour than CAR.

The color is more orangey than most CAR. That's why I had to get the Gruhn appaisal to convince people that the finish was original.

Still,it really looks much better than the Kurosawa photos.

I'm really jealous. I'm on the list for a c64 and it can't show up soon enough!

I have to admit, at first I thought "I'm patient, it seems like a better deal to just order a new one and wait the 9 months" but now I'm sort of regretting it bc my patience is waning.

Oh,I think It will be worth waiting for. Who did you order it from?

The 325c64 is a beatuitful guitar.The body is a little thinner than the 325v59 so it is very comfortable to play. I had this one for a short time(next to the Fireglo 320 below).I bought it new from Musicians Friend but when I got it the finish had a chip on the front(I think it was because the trem arm was loose in the case). It was probably a return but they sent it to me as new so I sent it back to them and canceled my order.

Image

That was the last 325 I owned till I got this one.
