Cappy Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 20, 2006 - 9:18 pm:    I have half a bottle left. Grab a couple of glasses from your hotel and we'll have a shot. six Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, April 21, 2006 - 9:38 am:    Please remember to take some photos of the occassion BEFORE you crack open the JD. We'd like the images to be in focus! Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Friday, April 21, 2006 - 7:53 pm:    I looked every where for the bottle last night. I get the feeling it was finished off at the going away party before I left England in December. . Will take my camera six Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Saturday, April 22, 2006 - 3:03 am:    Have just returned from the Melbourne guitar show with pics loaded on my camera. I will send the best ones on to John for posting. Thanks to Ol'Cappy for making me feel welcome not only at the show, but in Oz too. six Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 4:51 pm:    First, my apologies to Cappy, Six, and all the other ICW members from Down Under for not getting to posting these pictures that Six took back in April. Without further ado, enjoy! Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 4:52 pm:    and more... Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 4:54 pm:    last, but not least... Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Wednesday, August 02, 2006 - 12:14 am:    Jeeez I look old Wondered what happened to those John. Thanks all the same. In fact, that was a really nice semi. Great finish and superb craftsmanship. Not as nice as my Weir though. six Lespaul Username: Lespaul Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Wednesday, August 02, 2006 - 8:16 am:    Is that Cappy with Six's Weir? Paul Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Wednesday, August 02, 2006 - 8:36 am:    I see Six with the AS103NT. What do you think of that model Six? Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Wednesday, August 02, 2006 - 8:15 pm:    LesP Yes correct mate. I took the Weir along for Cappy to have a look at. Lucky I did as the thing got me in the show buck free. Freak. Yes it was a very nice guitar. Like I said previously, well made and put together with loving care. Very light finish though. I would prefer it a little blonder looking. Y'know that goldy look say like a blonde AS80 colour. BTW, my hair isn't really ginger. six Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 05-2006 Posted on Wednesday, August 02, 2006 - 8:34 pm:    That would make you a player then (oversprayed)! Ginger Ale PS: I Feel the same about the colour, you mean like your 2355m that's on Smooth's 2355 site? Do you still have it BTW? Did you find a pickguard yet? Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Thursday, August 03, 2006 - 4:06 am:    I tell you I had a quick strum on those acoustics too. They were VERY VERY nice and looked great, especially the vine model! six Captainibanez Username: Captainibanez Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Thursday, August 03, 2006 - 6:03 am:    Thanks for putting the pics up John. It was great to finally meet Six and his Black Beauty! Looks like a factory finish in the flesh let me tell ya. Six, I now have the AS103 in the collection now.My darling bride to be bought it for me secretly as a early wedding present At staff price of course !!!! Was a good show too! Full house each day...that makes it worth while doing these clinics. BTW I don't look as pixcelated in person, sorry if this photo scared any younger members...avarst there ya Ibanez plucking seadogs! Captain Ibanez Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Thursday, August 03, 2006 - 7:10 am:    That SZ720FM above has a nice top on it! If they did the hardware in gold it would really compliment that finish i much more! Jchester Username: Jchester Registered: 05-2006 Posted on Thursday, August 03, 2006 - 10:39 am:    Six, You & I are apparently the only ones here who've played the Vai EP9 accoustic (aka "the vine model"). I bought one in May & have been trying to get other ICW members' feedback, but very few seem to check the Acoustics page. I think it's a steal at $1100US (real world pricing), after comparing it to various Martins, Gibsons, Taylors, Laravees, etc. Any further thoughts... anyone? John Lespaul Username: Lespaul Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Thursday, August 03, 2006 - 4:47 pm:    Jchester, There are more here who own an Euphoria........ They just need to chime in. Some have even posted pics here. Paul Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Thursday, August 03, 2006 - 9:08 pm:    Hi Cappy. Glad you are pleased with the semi. The show model was a stunner. I don't usually mention buying guitars to my wife. Try to keep them a secret. Jchester I left my Ibanez Concord back in the UK with a mate of mine so am missing an acoustic these days. $1100 US sounds like very good value for money. Especially when you consider the price of the hand made stuff. My buddy has a "Brooke" hand made in Devon UK. It's a 1st class instrument but cost him the equivalent of $3500 US. six
