It's time to rotate the stock
It's time to generate capital for the next project-
I am reluctantly selling some small part of my collection.
This will be a longish post in the interest of honesty......
1] A 7 string Vega Console steel of debatable vintage-comes with original Bakelite pushbuttons and slide knobs, a big 14 pole PU set into an ArtDeco support ring, and wheel style tuners
It has the bar knocks and chips of a well played and loved guitar, the legs are original and suffering from console steel arthritis-[2 of the 4 need pipe clamp bracing to stay]and a totally beat OHSC
It has the vibe and sound of the 40's that brings back the ghost of Hank, Patty and Lefty. This can all be yours for best offer equal or over $300 plus shipping
2] a 1958 Fender D-8 Stringmaster- a worn well loved, well played Barroom BLonde, comes with previous owners SS # on the bottom that traces it to Oklahoma at some point in its life
It's the one,and nothing else sounds the same- the pots are clean, the electronics all look to be original, the PUs sing and cry, they walk, they talk, they make grown men crawl across the floor on their belly
issues? it does have a few after 49 years on the bandstand but so do I. Missing the cap on the selector switch, one bridge cover slightly bent, but both are included, one of the leg clutches no longer clutches with out the assistance of a pipe clamp, the case tweed is the worse for wear thanks to my sister-in-laws cat. There is a bent tuning key on the outside neck, still works but it's bent.
(I do have a spare tuning pan that I will throw in for an extra $100, which is what I paid for it on EB#*@y)
Sale price- Best offer over $1000 plus shipping
3]Fender Volume-Tone Pedal
the old fashioned two direction swivel in good condition
it does what it should with out any noise or wisecracks-wish my teenager would follow suit..............
$150.00 -Shipping included
4]Goodrich Model 60 Match Box
Tone modulator thingy that clamps onto your leg like an overly-friendly poodle- in perfect working order with only minor finish wear on the casing
$75 Shipping included
Pix available upon request cause I can't figure out how to post em here.
Estimate shipping costs from 19147 unless ya want to do a drive-by.
As per custom a donation to the forum will come after the check clears.
Thanks so much for your interest |
