Default How long have you been GAS FREE ???

About 15 years .... Since I bought my Froggy Bottom custom H12c and F. Have my Papazian since 1983. I haven't found something I can play that these guitars don't make sound better.

Yeah, me either. Seems like everywhere you go it's backordered.

Three years, eight months. That's when I found a 96 Fuller's J 50.

Doesn't mean I haven't had moments of temptation, most recently over a J 100 extra (mahogany back).

Realistically, I have no space for another case--and don't have a likely sacrificial offering for the 1 in 1 out rule.

So I'm recovering.
