It's been a very good week
« on: November 14, 2014, 07:36:50 PM »
I went to Southpaw Guitar on Monday and scored a really nice T5 X Ovangkol. While I was there I saw a beautiful T3 B hanging on the wall and it took all of my self control to resist buying it. Oh well, so much for my self control. I went back Thursday and bought it!

Congratulations!  Now you'll have to change your forum 'handle' to "T-Man." ;)

I've got a T5-C1 with a Maple top almost identical to your T3; the top has almost a three-dimensional visual effect that photos really don't capture well.  I imagine yours is the same.  Really eye-catching!

Well as you now, you gotta catch those lefties while you can! Enjoy!
