..... is coming soon. At least I bought the domain. I don't know hardly anything about this whole domain...hosting...programming thing. I want to make it a hub for people that like vintage instruments. The biggest thing will be a forum just for vintage gear.
Will you join the community when I get the website up? I know you guys have cool gear that we could discuss. Of course, pictures are a must. I'll let you know as soon as I get it going. I would really love for you to be a part of it. Yes, you. Whether or not you have gear or want gear. You have something to say. Otherwise you would be sitting on the couch watching a re-run of Wedding Crashers or Christmas Vacation. No, you are out here looking for information on the stuff that you like. You are looking to learn. Forums are a great way to do that.
Here is a quick update on the guitars I have bought/sold lately.

Wow, I didn't realize how much was gone until I posted this. Two guitars come to mind that will really keep me up at night. That '53 J-45 was "the one I would never sell." It is the prop that my wife and I used in our engagement pictures. So sad.
The second one is the big Kay Jumbo. I spent a lot of time on the neck set, custom bone nut and saddle. It came out perfect. I sold it for way less than I should have and the buyer wasn't even happy with it. I told him that I was a bit relieved and that I would buy it back immediately, pay for shipping both ways AND give him $20 for his troubles. He said no. So then I was out a guitar and the buyer wasn't even happy with it. I begged him to change his mind and he refused. So he was both happy any unhappy about it, I guess. I don't know.
Something that was interesting about these sales is the fact that a couple of the guitars went to some big time players. Suffice it to say that you have heard them play before. Or you have lived under a rock for the past 50 years.

I wish I had more time to write about these. Right now, unfortunately I don't. Sorry that these pictures are less than professional. Have you gotten anything cool lately? Share it with me. Shoot me an email or comment.
