This looks like Rick Vito's guitar, only way cleaned up from when I played it.

You are correct sir! Would you like to make an offer?

Michael Bauer

No, I have had two chances to buy it (before and after Vito), and didn't, so that bird has flown. It is a nice guitar, but I bought a Couesnon f-hole, which fills that space in the closet. Joseph made wonderful guitars, though! I have a heart-hole that is one of my all-time favorites.

I just have to ask: did you clean the grime off it? My recollection of it is that is was considerably darker. Perhaps my memory is faulty. I seem to be wrong as much a right these days.
