Location: east coast usa | Another cool Buy for someone. I have had this forever... but due to my sons education fund i am parting with. The sign measures 27" x 15". Offered to a member for $250 plus shipping cost. Headed for ebay in a week if no interest. Thanks :(

I'm looking for this item for a so long time and there's already a special place for it in the music room on which I'm working since 2 weeks in my new house.
Maybe the next one will be for me if I'm lucky!! ;)

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | A.J. a few of us have this very sign and should be able to send you photos of whatever you need. However, my suggestion is that if you are going to have one made, then design it yourself and have something truly unique. |

I agree ... The original sign is great, but if you can have one made, why not improve upon it. The lettering for instance is quite plain and the guitar could have a bit more flair to it. Since they originally were mass produced, that's probably why they weren't dolled up a bit more. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Vince, we discussed your type of sign a while back and they look nice (I have several with another manufacturer). However, they use a single fluorescent bulb, not neon gas-charged tubes, and a replacement bulb is difficult to find if and when it burns out. If anyubody has a source for the bulbs, please let me know! The problem is that the sign bulb is either an inch longer or an inch shorter (can't remember which way) than the standard size replacement bulb found in hardware stores. |
