Someone should buy this and make every card carrying X189 and X199 member a copy.

Nice decisive action BTW and yes, the disc will only work if you have both guitars.

Well now.... I guess you two can duke it out over who gets me the x199 and who gets stuck picking up the x189 for me. All for the bragging rights of saying you have the 1st copy of my new CD.

Or, hey... here's an idea!! If one of you can pick me up both and I will send the original to him.... and I will pick up the shipping costs.

You are a wily and savvy businessman. I have no choice but to submit to your will and begin scouring the planet for the best possible X189 and X199 to purchase for you in exchange for a shiny plastic disc. And so... the search begins...

Keeping in mind that I've never spoken to you in person or even over the tele I will still contend that a pleading, whiney voice is not who you are John. And since when have I come across as rational in most of my posts? -LOL-

In all seriousness anyone who wishes they had this CD please feel free to pm me anytime. I am not about to post publicly that I am going to make copies or anything. But of course I will be ripping a copy for my personal backup and might need a volunteer to keep it safe for me, being an absent minded blonde and all, you know.

(winking smiley would be perfect here)

I eagerly await your analysis and in-depth review of the contents of the alleged disc.

Did you guys know this demo disc existed? I'm wondering if it was standard issue with any guitars or if it was made for distributors. Any thoughts? Seems to me it might be something of a rarity.

My experience is rather limited in comparison to most who contribute here but I can say that my spiders and bots have never turned up anything like this in the etherworld.

The description makes it sound as if one could have been included as part of a purchase of a Spectrum of those two model lines, maybe an "extra" piece of case candy to sweeten the deal for an on the fence buyer. I've never seen it in any catalog or literature scans as an option for purchase.

Mike? Arthur? Paul? Bueller?.... Bueller?....

I wonder if any of the Westone crew would know? About now, it'd be nice to have some contact with David Blair, eh?!

I ŵonder if TP knows anything about it?

Good thought, John. The more the merrier. I'll post a link back here over at Westone.
