    What's your music collection crown jewel?

    I don't have any real rarities, but there are two I treasure. One is: The other is a tape recording of jazz guitarist Tal Farlow and a friend of mine that took guitar lessons from him, playing live together at Tal's house.

    laatsch55 maybe, is it a 700seriesII or a 700B? I'll do that for a series II in good shape. I'm not that familiar with the differences with the B.
