Holy guitars, Batman! Now there's a collection. No kids or grandkids to pass them down to? Some excellent models here, but there may not be any deals. Can you send me his contact info, Jack? Don't show this to AJ. He'll have his container filled up before spring.

He keeps up on pricing so there may not be any deals. Brad, I sent him an email and will let you know as soon as he responds.

I'd be interested in one of the '53 models, too, but I'll defer to someone else of my "model year;" I'm still trying to save for my first A.

Way back when I was a Pup (so the Dark Ages ) my father had a Cherry Burst Gibson Acoustic... Cat Stevens played the same model in a video I saw - that thing would be worth $$$ now huh . Idiot Me traded it in on an Epi Electric Casino (think John Lennon model) in the 70's... then traded the Epi on a '79 Cherry Burst LP Custom (selling at any GC now for > 14K AHHHHHH)...

So anything in that list that is truly a unique 60's or 70's Gib or Guild acoustic... I would love to get a chance at assuming the economy here doesn't implode in the next 3 weeks

The 47 LG-1 and the Trini are the only cool ones there. The rest are interesting but all second leverl guitars. A 59 ro 60 335 would be interesting, a 330, yawn..........

No, it'a a refinish with larger frets and the case isn't original. It's a beautiful guitar but I found one that was more original. That's the only one I know anything about other than the Rickenbacker.

Can't have a Mosrite with big frets. It's just not right. That's like putting 3 strat pickups on a Les Paul. How silly is that?

I agree. Why buy it if you change or lose the personality of that guitar?
