Thanks Stephen, yes, I agree with you. I just finished reading the book entited "The Strat In The Attic" which is about researching and finding rare guitars. Your comments are greatly appreciated as I didn't want to imply otherwise.

Hey Jeff, do you need to see your bank manager before you change the strings on the guitar in your avitar picture!!!
I hate replacing strings especially on the Gibson CG and my National GC!!!!! Not for the cost, just it's a pain.

Cost me £50 in strings when I completed the restore (about $90CAN).
Actually, I really enjoy changing strings - I find it quite theraputic and relaxing. Except when the cat is around and keeps trying to grab the ends of the strings. |

...those pictures don't give a good idea of condition, really... missing the case, take off $250... missing the bridge covers, take off $120... I know it's Canadian dollars, but it's still pretty high for what you're getting. |
Hi Folks
I have purchased that guitar of Bob.
It is on its way down here to New Zealand (hopefully)
Would think not to many of them in this neck of woods

Oh, that is so tempting! You don't see those come up for sale around here very often.
Could probably haggle down to $1500-1600. Prices for some used gear in Canada are usually inflated simply given the relative rarity of some things.
Not sure what I would do with a third neck, though...I can barely handle one!

That ain't butterscotch and can you imagine what it would weigh if it were made of maple?!?  |
