After 31 years of looking, I have finally found it. Perfection. And it came in the form of a 2005 Rogue Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar. From the pawn shop purchases to the Martin dreadnoughts, nothing has come close to the sweetness of this instrument. The finish is flawless. The mechanics are flawless. The tone perfect. So perfect, in fact, that I sat down with a recording of the song "Amie" by Pure Prarie League and this guitar's tone matches the guitar in it perfectly. I am so in love with this instrument.

Special thanks to The Lady Esquire for making this possible. Her appreciation of my artwork that is now in her possession gave me the ability to grab up this gem. Thank you thank you thank you.

Guitar and music has always been my life long passion but circumstances have not allowed my life to travel that path except for playing in my spare moments.

I only hope time permits me to spend many hours enjoying this instrument.
