Is he able to play them a bit at least or only make a profit from them? :hmm

George is an acoustic guitar guy...he definitely plays...he also talks very, very slowly! heheh!

Yes!

You have a Klon???

98% original, with a very good refret (frets not too large but no fretless wonder).

I don't want to spoil his introduction and would like him to post the pics.
Maybe one little pic...

sounds like it was a killer guitar...I hope that he will join and post more pics soon!

A re-fret literally transformed mine...can't recommend it enough :jim

Yes, I have had a Klon for many years...in fact I sold my first one a few years ago, and had to buy another one...it is that important in my setup. If I could only have one pedal, it would be a Klon!

I love effects in general, my Echoczar is my other pride and joy...hard to find, but incredible with the Klon...I am incredibly lucky to own this gear...hard work and luck...a great combination! :dude:
