It was mentioned 45 or less available in USA ....& could be the rather steep Map price for them ?

The price is just too high for what you get.

Re: Joe Bonamassa Gibson Custom Shop Bonabyrd Registry

Guess the Registry may not make qualifications for a Sticky Thread ...

I usually lurk daily on LPF and MyLP ... haven't seen one BByrd NGD post as of yet.

Some have sold ... noticed #2 at Dave's was replaced with #79 last week ... figured #2 would show on up on LPF ... maybe by the owner of Skinner #2 who is active on that Forum.
