I just saw that there is a VERY nice late 40's to early 50's Gibson Console Grande. It has a very reasonable buy it now. $895.00 I believe.
I would bid, but I don't think it find many friends set up next to all my Fenders.

I guess I might as well be the first to as well ask: does anyone know Kenny Small?[This message was edited by Russ Young on 27 March 2004 at 10:36 AM.] |

Thanks CrowBear!
The guitar is located not too far north of me so I can go and pick it up. I'm kind of excited as now I have a blond double neck Console Grande along with this sunburst model. Both 3 legged and from the l940's. Now if I can only get it home without the wife finding out. I was in the doghouse a while ago. She and my daughter went up into my loft and counted 35 guitars. But I fooled them. I still had 2 in the office I hadn't brought home yet. I suffer from an acute case of GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome)! So many guitars, sooooo little time.
CrowBear, take care!

CrowBear,
I'll have to tell you kind of a cute story. I bought a new motorcyle last year. I told my son-in-laws about it and they said: "How are you going to sneak that past Jan?".
I really don't know if she did an accurate count or not. I think some of those 35 were actually amps. I have a bunch of them too. Twin reverb, Nashville 400s, Gibson Goldtone, Marshall acoustic, etc. The list goes on and on and on and on and---------.

Erv, i clearly remember your getting that motorcycle and resolving the matter by taking Jan for a ride on it.
So....you're just gonna have to teach your second half to steel. that'll get you a back up musician and steelin will bring you even closer together.

| At some point, she will not remember whether she counted guitars, amps, or guitars AND amps. Then you can easily sneak in 5-6 additional items. Baffle them with BS! |

It's been said that marriage is a wonderful institution but who wants to spend his life in an institution!!! 
You know I'm just kidding. My first wife is a wonderful gal (oh no, there I go again). She just kind of lets me do my own thing with the guitar business. We both recently went on vacation. She took a trip to California and I stayed home with my guitars!
Uff-Da! |
