Are you still in love?   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Monday, October 31, 2005 - 2:20 pm:    bump!   Beerman Username: Beerman Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Tuesday, November 01, 2005 - 3:24 pm:    I bought F-0520919 from Bill's Music in Catonsville Md near Baltimore. Paid for it in June, got it mid october.   Lenny0821 Username: Lenny0821 Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Tuesday, November 01, 2005 - 10:03 pm:    I am the proud owner of F0520913. I received it on October 14th and used it at a gig that night. I purchased it as a fan of the Grateful Dead and specifically Bob Weir. I love his sound from the mid 70's to early 80's. I was looking into getting a new guitar, and when I first heard of these becoming available, it became a mission. I am not a guitar collector. I am a player, and I went for it. I play in a classic rock band that gigs 3 to 4 times a month. This guitar has the versatility to provide a variety of useful tones to cover a wide spectrum of classic rock. However, I also get together with some friends once or twice a month to jam in the Grateful Dead style (which I prefer to classic rock). This is where the guitar exceeded my expectations. It nails the tones I was looking for right out of the box. The single coil tones have the "sizzle" my Musician seems to lack. I love it. And, as my wife says, "It sure is pretty." The only drawback that I have had so far is that after gigging twice and playing it everyday for the first 3 weeks that I have owned it, Bobby's signature has faded away. On one hand, it doesn't really matter to me that much since I will NEVER sell it, but it was cool having it on there when I got it. I wish they used permanent marker.

I know that there are more of you Cowboy owners out there.   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, November 02, 2005 - 8:54 am:    Lenny: Your story sounds just like mine, however, I don't own a Cowboy. I've wanted once since the late 70's... mk   Beerman Username: Beerman Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 02, 2005 - 8:13 pm:    First thing I did was to make a plastic replacement cover for the Cowboy, I thought that Weir signature might rub off.   Orval Username: Orval Registered: 03-2001 Posted on Tuesday, November 15, 2005 - 6:29 pm:    F0520927 has finally arrived as of nov 14, havent had time to check it in yet, but will get to it this week. it was ordered through Mass St Music in lawrence kansas. the link is to their webpage with a shot from winter namm. http://www.massstreetmusic.com/show_indv.php?item=02271&img=1   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Tuesday, November 15, 2005 - 10:17 pm:    Congrats Orval! Let us know what you think of it. I've heard that it's a stunning piece of work.   Ibanezcollector Username: Ibanezcollector Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Wednesday, November 16, 2005 - 7:44 am:    Orval, I would be interested in hearing your opinion about the different feel that this guitar has regarding the picking hand. Maybe its the pickup lay out and the different style bridge that i'm referring to, but to me it felt similar to a Thick stratacaster with an Artist neck. I'm glad you finally got it! all the best
