Brad, I sent him an email and will let you know as soon as he responds. |

Location: Just outside Dallas, TX | 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 |

Location: 6 String Ranch | 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.......... |
