Location: Upper Left USA | My Bus Stop Buddy/Neighbor is about to celebrate his Graduation from the apprenticeship and has received permission from SWMBO to obtain a guitar!
He has a bunch of small kids, a mortgage and is at that time of life where "lunch money" for himself is a luxury!
I believe I have him hooked on Ovations (the glazed look he gave mine was a giveaway) and I need some support to cinch the noose!
Here is a little bit about him (see if you can dig out the big clues):
Name: Joshua White (I can't make this stuff up, but he is a white guy!)
Occupation: Civilian Shipfitter, Navy
Hobbys: Working overtime to support his Family, Volunteer Firefighter, working more overtime.
So, if you haven't guessed where I'm going I would love to find a "Josh White" to give to him.
I have some cash, some trades and a lot of promises.
Can you help a Brother from another Mother? |

I don't have a Josh White, but today I just got a black Pacemaker in above-average shape. I need to clean it up a little (polish, new strings, the usual). If you can't find a JW, let me now if this interests you.
Once I get some pics, I'll post it in the for sale section. |

Location: Upper Left USA | A Josh White in less than perfect condition ( I mentioned he had crumb snatchers) would be perfect but I looking over some Balladeers and Legends with aged presence.
I may end up giving him my Custom Balladeer 1112 but its significance of being my first O and the fact that it is as awesome a fingerstyle guitar can get without a wider neck is harshing me out.
But, everyone deserves a nice gift once in a while! |

Location: Scotland | Or, you could probably find a relatively inexpensive 1114 or 1614 Folklore, and then you might know some people with "connections" who could probably obtain a JW decal from the reissue, maybe. |

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | M (I care) Woody , there are very few requests that strike my heart strings like your quest!
Hopefully, someone can and will step up and fulfill your quest!
A JW is on my short list, but I would gladly step aside in order to have a Josh in Josh's lap!
Here's rooting fer ya...  |

| Slydog has a vintage 1612-1 w/truss rod neck so it's an earlier one, I think he's looking for around $350 for it, it's in good condition w/ohsc, make him an offer.

I wish I had snagged some of those early Commodores demo Albums... |

Location: Upper Left USA | Update:
Josh is the proud Owner of a ren-o-vated 1778T with the option to trade it for a Josh White that arrives at my house on Friday.
I don't think he'll trade though, he can't get the smirk off his face after spending some quality time with the "T". Next morning all he can say is that the guitar is incredible.
I think I prostelitized another potential candidate for the 12 fret program...
My Wife is a little miffed that I gave it away, she thinks I should actually try to make money with my business.
How does that work? |
