Fleetwood History

[T5picker]

Hey guys,
When did the Fleetwoods come out?
Any info on their history would be appreciated.:)

[DanKashola]

Then in '06 the prototypes hit the street .................. Ithink there are 16 - 20 ????

[T5picker]

16..20 made? You mean they only made 16 - 20 Fleetwoods?

[DanKashola]

I don't know for sure, that is a good guess .......... if everyone fesses up to Fleethood maybe we could count'em ......

I know of 4 through RR, 1 through Infinity, 8 through BCR, 1 overseas, 2 at Roxy ???

duuno ................ 3 protos popped the day I dropped off a slab of wood at the shop. It was the Robin Reunion day .........


There is an Orange one available .......... OUCH !

It went for 810 + 125 shipping. Almost bid on it.

Guys:

I remember that black Fleetwood well. The reason being that it had something a little more than most. Every guitar that left our shops went through my hands. I played them all. I remember that one and told Greg the same thing when we shipped it out. It is special. I believe that whoever ends up with it will have to agree......nuff said...

Good to hear from you. I just recently aquired my first Avalon also. Hat's off to ya. You made some incredible guitars. Hope all is well.

Just unpacked the Fleetwood that shipped from Poland!
Green....just in time for St. Patty Day!
Only track I had recorded for a test run was "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" the old Georgia Satellite's tune.
Made her squeal.......nice!

[DanKashola]
