what type of guitars are you guys playing? It looks like you got X bracing in the back of an oval hole and Nick is holding a D hole Dunn (?) that looks like some type quilted wood on the top in one pic.
BTW, I agree with Nwilkins bout the sax -- but it is a great CD *in spite* of the mediocre sax!

> That pic is about 2 years old. Those are both my Dunn guitars. The X braced oval hole is a "Stardust" prototype, and the D-hole is a "Rhythm Futur". I sold the oval hole to a friend of mine, but I still have the "RF". I recently sent the RF back to Michael, and had him "slot" the headstock, and put a Bigtone in the bridge. I didn't care for the Highlander system that was in it. The RF is a very unique guitar, made of Califonia Redwood (top) and Indian Rosewood (back & sides). It is only 15" at the lower bout, a built-in wood panel on the back, and a 14th fret neck join. It sounds VERY dark, and the midrange is killer! Very punchy and full for it's size, and just a great, unique rhythm guitar. It has a French polished top, and almost no finish on the back, neck & sides. In addition to the Dunn "RF", I also play a Shelly Park "Encore", a Dell 'Arte "Manouche", and just ordered (but haven't received, yet) a Gallato "Daphne". Heck, 3 more and I'll have one for every day of the week! :oops: (I guess I better learn to play them!)
