    Phwoar!

    That's not GAS; it's a legitimate purchase.

    These are great guitars, I bought my dad the skylark version, I never get tired of playing it.

    Totally not my thing, and I'd never consider buying one, but stunning, nonetheless!
    Congratulations!
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Well, Midge Ure did fit one to a Yamaha AES if memory serves ;)

    Very nice, but that is an enormous guitar!  17" lower bout!

    Same size as a Dreadnought, so no hassle at all

    Dread's have a 16" lower bout, your new guitar has a 17" lower bout - same as a Gibson Super Jumbo (e.g. J-200)

    Déjà vu again, Mister Seven? ;)

    You should get a royalty payment every time that the story of Midge Ure's twangbar gets a mention.
