After 9 months of reasonably patient waiting, I drove to Portland over the weekend to pickup my new Koll.
I've lurked for some time on this forum and admired the many beautiful instruments displayed, and though I'm sure every one has its merits, this guitar Saul made me is a freakin' rock and roll machine!
I've never had such a pleasantly earned bout of tinnitus as the one a got from the 3 straight hours of rocking out with it when I got back home.
Last year I felt like Id finally earned the right to go out and drop a wad of cash on a higher end guitar and was about to go on the search for a vintage tele or sg. I asked iainmc (weve played together for several years) what he thought since he has some great guitars, and without hesitation he said, "Get a Koll." I also have appreciated zeppos Kolls (not to mention fine playing) for a few years and between the two strong endorsements I knew I couldnt go wrong.
Anyways, as Marti DiBergi said enough of my yakkin
