Dollar short and a day late, Doug, darn it! I just dropped 50K on Speedy's front piece...would you consider selling Hank's jacket and pants separately (which would probably reduce the exorbitant shipping cost to $5)?  |

| If someone is willing to pay the price, power to them. They will have the satisfaction of having one of a kind item. From the standpoint of an investment I think you need to consider the size of the future market. Not my kind of gamble. |

I wonder what one might get for Speedy's original Bigsby triple neck that's on display at Nashville's country music hall of fame.
It looks like it was dredged up after a terrible flood or hurricane possibly. I've never seen any musical instrument in such terribly bad condition and to think this was the guitar of one truly all-star player. Very sad! |
According to the exhibit at the museum, West sold the guitar in the late 1950s, and decades later "Buck Owens rescued it from a Bakersfield junkyard, weather-worn and altered almost beyond recognition." |
