Location: Tampa, FL | Called up this place called Lost Art/Vintage Instruments and some guy answers "We never close"
Now... being the sort of person I am, first thing to cross my mind is, "I just gotta test this, I'm gonna call someday at around 0330 EST"
Has anybody tried this yet?
Needless to say, he gave ma a free guitar but charged me a bit for some sage advice. If ever you find yourself a in need of an opinion, I do belive Al has just what you're looking for. |

| Ohh yeah that guy........ Every time I call he talks me into buying one of his guitars! Good Thing I like Guitars Haa!
He even talked me right into ordering a factory custom Hamer 8 string Bass and one of his Gibson's this time!
The Check is literally in the Mail Al with a little extra for the site management as well!
Only thing I still want to find is a real nice newer Ovation Country Artist? I figure if I wait long enough you'll run into one anyway. Always a pleasure

Location: Midland, MI | The Improv is the shiznit...from what I've read/heard. I would love to get one to try out, but SWMBO would blow a gasket fersher.
If you haven't seen the pics of the Alpep custom bass with the planets...well, you have to see it. It makes me want that Century he has, just to have those inlays. |
