Location: Location Location Location | Thank you so much for parting with the '76 Red Custom Balladeer. It's everything you said and more. It was such a pleasure dealing with you.
I only wish that all my transactions could go as easy as this. You're honest and open, with a lot of integrity. You made the whole experience painless. Of course the pay off was getting more than I expected with a guitar that I just can't put down. |

Location: Parkersburg, WV | My first and sentimental favorite is my '77 red Custom Balladeer 1612-2. What is really cool about the finish is that it is more like a bright, even red stain as opposed to red paint. Up close you can still see the nice spruce grain pattern.

On a recent roadtrip I can honestly confirm that the Oregon Possum's are no smarter than the Washington ones, maybe just dryer.

Clever, Moody. If you put as much effort into your Private Investigator business, maybe you wouldn't be crying the blues about money all the time. You're a loser. Your posts make me feel sorry for you. The good old days, huh, Moody? The good old days when you didn't have to step up to the plate and actually show some ability for what you do. Of course you're the star of the forum here. That's worth something. Guys like you are all mouth, then blame everyone else why they fail. Failure, Moody. Oh, I'm sorry, did I put the comma in the wrong place?
Guess I stepped on a few 'weasels' toes. Did I spell that right, Moody...PI??? |
