The other day I posted a trade offer in the classifieds - my 2y/o Kentucky 505 for an A-style, anything but f-holes. I recently bought a Weber Gallatin and saw no reason to have two A5s. Got a few hits but the one that strikes my eye is a Redline. The owner (second) identifies it as "red satin finish spruce top and black satin finish curley maple back & sides." Professional luthier-installed strap button. Breedlove HSC. I browsed the Redline site for info, saw a pic of a red top sitting in a HSC and asked the owner. Bingo - that is the one and viewable here. I have exchanged several e-mails with the owner (pleasant 70+ fellow) and currently awaiting pics (owner has trouble managing digital pics). The trade will be the Redline and Breedlove case for my Kentucky, standard HSC, and $200. I like the look and the price works for me if Redlines are as nice as the reviews. Any thoughts? Bob Gray
